Erroneous in what way Dick? The way you pop in and throw out ungrounded and nasty comments on anything you don't like reminds me of the old guys in the balcony on The Muppet Show. Entertaining but meaningless in the real world.

Oh, but it's so much better than "over there". I'm amazed at the "rationale" people will use to make hiway robbery acceptable.

Rand is absolutely right. We are not citizens, we are inventory. Democracy, when held under bright light is nothing more than a sick joke...mob rule in a cheap suit.

An accurate description of the American Borg.

It's all part of forcing sheeplike compliance on what were once free and sovereign citizens. The powers that be do not see us as people, but as inventory. Sheep to be fleeced and "culled" however they see fit.

Mike, Anon's comment is typical of the arrogance of ignorance. As if "progressives" have the answer....they don't. In fact not one progressive idea can find its way home to anything like logic or morality.

Richard Byrd has touched on many valid aspects of a tyrannical tax regime. To believe that we can trust our well being to these parasites who are openly in the business of exploiting us for all they can...is "perverse". ;)

Waffler if the law should dictate we are to be beheaded for parking violations we should willingly comply? And that it would be perverse not to? You really don't have a single drop of American blood in you, now do you Kamrade?

The quote is spot on. This tax regime isn't about collecting revenues sufficient to maintain infrastructure at all. Its absolutely about controlling the population and keeping us all in our place. Heck if they need more money they can just call Bernanke on the phone and order up a couple thousand tons of it right? The system is corrupt and the currency itself is ultimately worthless. End the Fed.

I have no respect for a man who wants to "redefine" the meaning of American citizenship. Our founding fathers provided that meaning to us and they did so exquisitely. Clinton, a man with the morals of an alley cat, is basically saying do as you're told and you will be a good citizen. What a bunch of absolute hogwash. America was built by people of free spirit and innovative drive. And "pay your taxes" is a ridiculous premise. What he means is you should be compliant to supporting insane government spending policies through a system of extortion at gun point. They're not "my taxes", they are a fee imposed by a despotic organization that sees us a sheep to be fleeced at will. End the Fed.

And typically Waffler reaches to the absurd to back up and even more absurd philosophy. What you are describing my communist little friend is decency and sensibility...which have nothing whatever to do with socialism.

Well "just the facts", where does Obama fall now? As a biggest spender than all previous Presidents "combined". Just the facts!

Thank you wafflet for tying socialism and democracy together. Once again you "stumble" on the truth. And that we cooperate with each other in a civilized society is hardly "socialism". Socialism is always forced.

Reston you are a liar. The GOP under Bush did NOT have complete control. And I suppose you want to exonerate the Clinton administration and their little Kenyan buddy for turning Freddie and Fanny loose with no restraints so that "everyone could own a home"? THAT is what started the meltdown.

Amen Dr. Paul. End the Fed, Restore the Republic.

How many million more are still robbing, raping and killing while collecting welfare? Government support of the criminal class is exactly why we must never give up our guns.

The problem with most socialists is that they are incapable of working out where socialism eventually takes them. Without fail, socialism reduces all productive societies to poverty. It is the philosophy of the jealous and stupid.

I just want to wish all the liberal progressives here a great day... Today is the birthday of one of your greatest role models. A man who could speak to a crowd and have them absolutley riveted... A man who thought judeo-christian beliefs were a little too restrictive... A man who believed in community organizing on a massive scale... A man who held that animal life was of greater value than human life... A man who believed that we should all live and work in service of the state for the Greater Good... Yes its that special dayits Adolph Hitlers Birthday, so happy Goose Stepping and Chanting to you all.

Geez Waffler...I'm surprised you didn't manage to squeeze "Imperialist Running Dogs" into that comment. LOL

Waffler, the Government is NOT the people. They threw us overboard 30 or 40 years ago. They are in this for themselves and themselves only. How can you possibly be so naieve?

My God Reston....you might want to lay off the Scotch for breakfast. It is the individual striving for excellence that contributes to society, not the other way around.

Through a series of never ending and evil incursions into our liberties we are losing everything the Constitution gave us.

It has been my experience that the harder you try to achieve the American dream...the more you are punished for it. The government's agenda is one of complete control.

End the Fed, end foreign control. Restore the Republic.

Guess what Waffler, when there is welfare, there is no incentive to work. And saddling companies with useless individuals who's only training is how to collect welfare is a costly burden no company needs. Your whole analogy is nothing more than "rationale". It s NOT the Federal Governments job to carry us through life or make our decisions for us, period.
