I don't understand

Why adult human beings would look to government to provide for them, instead of working to provide for themselves. They don't seem to realize just how much the Government takes away from them. This is by design though, it is why people are not taxed directly but instead have their wages garnished by stealth at the employer level before the worker ever sees what is being taken from them. Do away with the employer middle man as tax collector and instead, give the worker his whole earned due, and make him responsible for paying his own tax debt and the fondue would hit the fan then.

Americans of this time have grown fat and lazy and rather than take responsibility for their actions and their lack of prudent planning. No too many of them would rather empower a Nanny government to take care of them and to give up their rights to do so.

These are the people who are supposed to....

Run Government Health Care, 2/3 of the US auto industry and the Banking system....

--More than 10,000 census employees were paid more than $300 apiece to attend training for the massive address-canvassing effort, but they quit or were let go before they could perform any work. Cost: $3 million.

--Another 5,000 employees collected $300 for the same training but worked a single day or less. Cost $1.5 million.

--Twenty-three temporary census employees were paid for car mileage at 55 cents a mile, even though the number of miles they reported driving per hour exceeded the number of hours they actually worked.

--Another 581 employees who spent the majority of their time driving instead of conducting field work also received full mileage reimbursements, which investigators called questionable.

Wisdom from the past

"A wise and frugal Government which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry ….and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned…" Thomas Jefferson

More Prevarication from O

Well for a President who said he would make sure no one making under $250,000 a year would see new taxes, he sure is laying them on thick and heavy.

Cigarrets,Soda's and anything HE classifies as Junk food, and now he is moving to ensure that the pre-tax deductions from your check towards your Medical Benefits are going to be AFTER tax deductions, which does increase your tax burden. Add that to Cap and Trade which even the Democrats call a BIG tax and we see the middle and lower classes getting hammered yet again.

Here is the Article

Where are people going to go?

The Administration is in full assault mode on Corporations and Investors.
Bringing new confiscatory taxes against businesses (something like a 190 BILLION in new taxes) while people are already being laid off left and right and the unemployment rate is closing in on 9% .

On top of that the Government is singling out individuals they don't like and and targeting them with individual tax policies made just for them.

People who obey the laws and stand up for their rights are then leaned on by the Administration goons known as the White House Press Corps, smearing and villifying them and dragging them through the muck because they had the temerity to want to keep what is theirs (Chrysler Bond Holders) instead of handing it over to the UAW...

Man, I am seriously considering just packing it up and finding a place where the Big O' cant get me....except that they are waging war on foreign nations that don't play ball and give over private banking information on request....

Is it just me or does it seem like suddenly our Government...the Government of the people by the people for the people has become some sinister evil nemesis?

Where is the Supreme Court?

With all that is going on and the blatant power grabs by the Obama Administration with the Democrats in the House and Senate assisting in every possible way, where is our last line of defnese? The third leg of Government the Supreme Court......why is there no Constitutional review of all these errosions to the Rights of the People?

This pretty much says it all

Mr. Obama's $3.6 trillion budget blueprint, by his own admission, redefines the role of government in our economy and society. The budget more than doubles the national debt held by the public, adding more to the debt than all previous presidents -- from George Washington to George W. Bush -- combined.
