You, the citizen of our once free country, are now called "inventory" by our friends at the IRS. Read "The Income Tax, The root of All Evil". It's long out of print but still available on Amazon.

I second Mikes kudos for the editor. Ever since politicians found out that they could steal your money and buy your vote with it, things have been going to hell in a hand basket, starting around 1913 if not long before. For the youngsters in the crowd, 1913 was the year of the Fed and the income tax. I doubt that even Frank Sinatra would have called 1913 "A Very Good Year".

Robbing Peter to pay Paul is just fine with Paul but Peter ain't too happy.

I think that she is exactly right. Only a couple of "progressives" like Waffler and Anonymous could disagree with this quote.

Paul, as usual, is exactly right. As to his being "crazy", he's one of the very few members of congress that makes any sense. Republicans sometimes talk sense but they usually buddy up to their democrat pals and the country goes farther down the rat hole.

Waff, as usual you make no sense, but that's pretty normal for Liberals. What on earth does this quote have to do with the Cato Institute? Your Komrad buddy Anonymous brought that up and he made no sense either. Do you two get your marching orders from the same commie cell ?

Robken, are you sugessting that the Cato Institute controls America ? If not, please enlighten us as to who's in charge.

It's easy for a politician to be "compassionate" he's not spending his money, he's spending ours.

How any grown person with half a brain and not suffering a mental disorder can be a liberal, ie, a socialist, is a mystery to me. This is a great quote.

Mike, J Allen, and Cal have said it well.

Bozeman, what's wrong with being a "radical extremist against Clinton because of his sexual improprieties". Bush did lead us into a bad war, are there any good ones, but that's not what is bankrupting this country. Various billion dollar bureaucracies in our government , foreign aid, the cost of illegal aliens, feeding and housing thousands of people in jail for victimless drug crimes, welfare, and other items of profligate spending by the elite in Washigton has bankrupted this country. Even without the war, we would still be bankrupt. And now we are dropping bombs on Libya, go figure.

Waffler, what on earth does your inane reply have to do with the quote? As to your 3rd grade comment, whether people are perverse depends on what law is being inforced. As one example, I resent a law that sends a person to jail for owning or growing hemp and I don't think that makes me a "perverse" person. I resent laws that require things from me but exempts the very people who pass these laws. I could go on but maybe even you, Waff, can get the point.

Great quote and the exact reply that you'd expect from Komrad Waffler.

At least he didn't say you have to have sex with an intern in the oval office. This is a good quote from one of the slimiest characters to ever occupy the White House.

Or get caught with a couple of ounces of hemp.

A few days ago, Obama had the audacity to tell some students at a community college that the government shouldn't spend more than it takes in. This from the biggest spender in American history, Naturally he plans to solve this problem not by cutting spending but by raising taxes. Thank you Mr Obamunist.

.....and we are finding out , much to our sorrow, that it doesn't work here in the USA.

The problem with schools started along about the time of Horace Mann. Public school education is a misnomer, it has little to do with education.

That could be why we have a thing called preschool.

Stephen, I'd explain it to you but anyone who would ask a question like your's wouldn't understand.

Jefferson was so right. IRS, DEA, DOA, DOE, ATF, OSHA, EPA, to name only a few of the government bureaus that we, the taxpayers support, in order for them to snoop into every corner of your life, steal your property, and generally make all sorts of mischief. Naturally, it's all done for your own good.

.... Give us this day our daily bread, it sure beats working for it.

Nancy, Ralph, Obama and the gang are working overtime on the last sentence in the quote.

Remedial reading courses in colleges, does that tell you anything about our public schools when you have to teach a college student to read. As to the "birthers", the Obamunist could shut them up by just showing his birth certificate. And how about those college records he carefully hides ?

A very appropriate quote for April 15th, April fools day.
