The confession sheet is known as the 1040. Once you sign it, you've confessed.

Wingstitch and waffler are equally nuts. Public assistance has nothing to do with inheritance . Public assistance comes from money forceably taken through taxation.

Texas has no state income tax, thank goodness. Every so often some nut case will write a letter to the editor saying that if we had an income tax the property tax could be less. The Mencken quote above explais the idiocy of that notion.

Mike and Archer said it well.

Johnson, Gainsville, add lawyers to the list. Almost all of the fine folk in the Congress are currently or have been lawyers.

Public Servents: Persons chosen by the people to distribute the graft. Mark Twain

Jack and Reston are so predictable, but then Socialists always are.

Reminds me of the old joke. Moses told the Israelites to load up their asses, get on their camels, we are going to the promised land. Roosevelt said , sit on your asses, light up a Camel, this is the promised land. It's been down hill ever since.

Whoever said it or might have said it, it's the truth.

Obamas scheme to "tax the rich" and make them pay "their fair share" is nothing more than class warfare to make people like Reston believe he is interested in the "little guy". Those "little guys" should hate the rich and vote for His Royal Highness, Barack Obama.

If a business gets added taxes, these taxes become part of the cost of doing business and are passed on to the consumer. In the end,whether it's a small business or large corporation, the added taxes are paid in the form of higher prices.

Politically unpopular speech is another thing. Try getting permission for a conservative to speak on the average college campus and see how far that gets you. And God help you if you dare say one slightly negative thing about Islam.

Waff, good to see your reply as we need to get the Communist view on things.

"Government , in it's last analysis, is organized force". Woodrow Wilson

Libertarians are the only ones who really believe in small government and lower, much lower, taxes. I support and am a member of the Libertarian Party. We also want to end the horror known as The war on Drugs. Check out LEAP.cc on the web to see why this 'War" is destroying this country.

I may sound like I'm shilling for J Carlton, but he is exactly right on this. It's amazing that our economy has survived as well as it has with all this government "help". Free enterprize and free trade works wonders, we should try it somtime.

I'm with J on this. There is some hope in South America as they are starting to have doubts as to this so-called "War on Drugs".Maybe getting rid of it will start South of the border.

His Majesty, King Obama, flaunts the Supreme Court. He even tried to intimidate them if they vote to outlaw his socialized medicine bill. Let's hope they hold firm and outlaw that monstrosity.

J Carlton is right. When a elected official in Washington is sworn in, he or she swears to uphold and defend the Constitution . 99% of them should be arrested for perjury since they do no such thing.

Friedman is right on target again.

This so called War on Drugs does exactly what Mr. Friedman says. Thugs get rich, crime increases, jail population increases, lives are ruined, drugs are more available to children, law enforcement is corrupted, and all because of this drug war.

This quote reminds me that when a politician proposes some hare brained bill, he usually says that "the people demand this." In most cases "the people" have never given it a second thought, much less demanded it.

I wish that this was all they did in the current Congress.

Sort of like folks who believe that Obama really has the best interests of the country at heart.

Hitler was a book burner. Book burning is always wrong.
