Mike and Ken have said it well.

Everyone knows at least one idiot who takes fewer deductions than allowed so he can get his own "money" back at the end of the year without interest.

Check the national debt prior to 1913 and look at it now. For those who missed it, 1913 was the year we got the Fed and the IRS rammed down our throats.

Those "dollars" in your wallet are "notes" and all notes bear interest.

Reston, welcome back to the earth. I hope your stay on Mars was pleasant. Armey is exactly right and you have, as usual, misread the quote.

J Carlton is right on. We need to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Reston must be joined at the hip with Waffler, both are nuts. As to the quote, tell that to big dady Obama and the wicked witch of the East, Nancy Pelosi.

As usual, P.J. hits the nail on the head. He also said that if you think medical care is expensive now, just wait till you see how much it costs when it's free. The above quote is so simple and true that even Waffler may be able to understand it, or maybe not.

Trying to talk sense into Waffler is like teaching a pig to whistle, it can't be done. Obama says he wants the economy to improve and then does exactly the wrong thing to make it happen. Since the government always takes in more revenue when taxes are lowered ,and the folk in our Congress know this, then there must be another reason why they plan to raise taxes. Raising taxes kills any hope of improving the economy so why do they do it. Perhaps our wonderful president has no intention of seeing our economy improve, do you suppose.

Sometimes I think that Waffler is just putting us all on since nobody can be as stupid as he sounds. Here's a news flash Waff, it's the Libs who constantly play the race card on anyone who opposes Obama and his insane programs for this country.

Here's how liberals operate. First you define a problem, real or invented, then throw huge sums of money at it, and when that makes things even worse you throw more money at it. When all that fails just blame it all on someone or something else. Then we reelect the same folk who started the whole process and the cycle continues.

In 1913 we got the Fed and the IRS and things have gone downhill ever since.

Anon, Perhaps he is referring to people on welfare and are happy to stay there. Your comment doesn't seem to fit the quote.

I'm with Howard on this one.

Our country was originally a Republic as set out by our founding fathers but has degenerated into a democracy. This may be the essence of this quote, maybe not.

Tell that to the control freaks in the Congress.

A perfect example of hypocracy is the U.S. Congress. They create the financial problems of the country and then blame it on everybody and everything besides themselves.

Public Education is a contradiction in terms. Remedial reading classes for college students proves this.

In 1918, a small group turned Russia into a communist country and today a small group is turning this country into a socialist state. And not just the thugs in power now, this has been going on at least since Lincoln.

Do nations become corrupt ? Ours has gone from Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin to Pelosi, Reed , Franks, and Obama, so you be the judge.

And Republics degenerate into democracies which commit suicide when people find out they can vote themselves goodies from the government trough.

Here's a slogan appropriate for the US Congress. " What ,me worry, I have my own health care, not Obama care."

If our government followed the Constitution there would be no Department of Education, no Agriculture department, no OSHA, no EPA, no HUD,no Department of Energy, no foreign aid, no IRS, no income tax, and a few dozen more unconstitutional items of theft from taxpayers, and no national debt.

I agree with Mike and Justin.

We are definitely in the do or die stage in this country with the commies now running it into the ground.
