He also said " Government is a disease masquerading as it's own cure". How true !!

J Carlton is right on about Waffler.

But they can target conservative groups.

Won't it be nice when they are "Dead in the Water'.

E Archer, good comment.

"Government , even in it's best state, is but a necessary evil, in it's worse state, an intolerable one." Thomas Paine

I give it 10 stars, at least.

Everything is fine as long as "they" are goring someone else's ox.

Waffler, you must be on something that adversely effects the brain, otherwise, how could you write such nonsense. Ron Paul is right on target and the Hitler comparison is insulting and crazy. You've stooped low before but this is your all time lowest,so shut up and crawl back under your rock.

Be careful of a different tax. You may wind up with a new tax AND the income tax. A consumption or sales tax would be better as everyone would pay it when they made purchases. The best solution would be a return to a constitutional government, get rid of most of the government bureaus and we would have no use for most of the current mishmash of taxes. This will happen when pigs fly.

Waff, this mess started way before Reagan and Bush. Try 1913 when we got the income tax and the Fed.

I prefer a thief to a politician. At least the thief doesn't tell you that he's robbing you for your own good.

Ben in Ames, don't be too hard on Waffler, He's good for some comic relief.

Beware when politicians talk of Tax Reform. They surely aren't planning to cut any taxes, you can bet on that.

Government is a Disease Masquerading as it's own Cure, L. Neil Smith.

The Obamas, Harry, Nancy and most of the gang in Washington do not believe in natural rights. They do , however, believe in privileges grated by themselves to certain groups and parties that support them.

Governments are a necessary evil with emphasis on the evil part. The nature of government is to tax, control, and enslave the citizens. And what do the citizens do but reelect the slave masters over and over.

RobertSRQ, I agree with your religion comments except for your Comments on Mother Teresa. Read, "The Missionary Position" by Christopher Hitchins For another view of this woman.

Very true.

Rothbard was a great Libertarian.

If you think your vote changes anything, think again. Republican and democrat, two horns on the same goat.

Never let a crisis go to waste, and if there isn't one, create one. That's how government works.

say what..?

The Ron Paul quote is very accurate. "This policy of endless intervention" could well read endless wars.

The government is my shepherd, I shall not want...
