One of government's main roles should be to protect it's citizens.

When it fails to do that , it diverts their attention with bread and circuses and limits their Big-Gulps to 16oz. <_<

In January 1929 there were 26 killings. 42 people were killed in Chicago last month, far worse than the city's most notorious crime era at the end of the Roaring Twenties.

Isn't austerity wonderful! :swoon:

The question is still unanswered: How much of someone else's life and property do I have a right to?

Greedy Musicians and Actors Preceded Athletes in Fleeing 70 Percent Taxes

It was the Beatles who sang, “There's one for you, nineteen for me” in the song Tax Man in 1966 leading the way for rock stars from the British Invasion to give up their British Citizenship to save millions in taxes.

Don't forget Robin Hood who "stole" from the rich (who got their wealth from oppressive taxation) and gave it back to the oppressed taxpayers.
Don't forget the French revolution.
Eventually even the French had their fill of it.


Good thing federal tax rates are at historical lows.
Boomers are just more into whining about it than their fathers were - might have something to do with the relative degree of pampering at an early age.

How much of someone else's life and property do I have a right to?
Please tell me.
I have some catching up to do.

Like I said, plenty, if you're using your nation's currency for your economic transactions.
If that bothers you, you could always try stopping - good luck with that. :rolleyes:

Coming soon to a government healthcare program near you:

The 22-year-old mother had been forced to have the abortion because she did not have enough money to pay the $6,400 fine for having a second child.“I told you, $6,400, not even a penny less. I told your dad that and he said he has no money,” a family planning official wrote to Deng in a blunt text message that quickly went viral. “You were too careless, you didn’t think this was a big deal.”Feng was grabbed from her home and taken to a local hospital in her native Shaanxi province where she was blindfolded, thrown on a bed and forced to a sign a document she couldn’t read. Thirty hours later, her baby girl was aborted.China has long defended its one-child policy as a way to prevent overpopulation and to help raise living standards across the country.

It could never happen in the USA, Right?
Under ObamaCare, the smoking penalty could add $5,086 to the cost.

A recent survey asked respondents if they smoked after sex.
3% said they never looked.

Supermarkets cry foul as FDA proposes new food labeling rule under ObamaCare

Supermarket owners argue a pending federal food-labeling rule that stems from the new health care law would overburden thousands of grocers and convenience store owners -- to the tune of $1 billion in the first year alone.
An Executive Order issued by President Obama in 2011 says agencies are supposed to calculate a cost-benefit analysis for each new regulation and attempt to use the least burdensome regulatory methods possible. Critics of the FDA's food labeling proposal say the agency didn't comply.
"They are required to do it, and they didn't," Lieberman said. "They simply said, 'We can't quantify a benefit from this rule,' and that's because they really can't."
The proposed regulation would require store owners to label prepared, unpackaged foods found in salad bars and food bars, soups and bakery items.
Failure to get it right comes with stiff penalties:
"If you get it wrong, it's a federal crime, and you could face jail time and thousands of dollars worth of fines."

and while you're at lunch -

Protect yourself from the “salad bar disease”! Also known as the stomach flu, which is a highly contagious group of bugs known as noroviruses. Their calling card? A sudden bout of vomiting, diarrhea, and cramps. About 30 to 40 different strains are in our environment, according to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention. Like it or not, it’s often spread from fecal matter that comes from people who don’t wash their hands after using the bathroom. The good news? This four-step plan can spare you the misery.

•Skip the salad bar. It turns out the most likely place for noroviruses to lurk in restaurants is the salad bar. Why? Because raw foods easily transmit the virus – since they’re not exposed to heat, which kills the virus. Plus salad bar counters are crawling with bacteria. To protect yourself, order a “made-to-order” salad from the kitchen instead of picking through veggies that everybody has had their hands on. Also, check the restaurant’s restroom! A study from the CDC confirms if the bathroom isn’t clean, the kitchen is worse!
...


things could be worse though -

The Agriculture Department confirmed Tuesday that a case of mad-cow disease had been discovered in California, but said the diseased animal had not entered the food chain. A case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, as it is known scientifically, was found in a California dairy cow, but authorities said carnivores need not worry. According to USDA Chief Veterinary Officer John Clifford, the nation’s supply of beef has not been tainted. This is the fourth confirmed case of the disease in the U.S.

Many former slaves are becoming RUNAWAY SLAVES

They are getting off of the plantation and taking back their power.

THEY MUST BE STOPPED!

The Keynesian Depression
"Keynes warned of the dangers of inflation in his early work, The Economic Consequences of the Peace, which presciently criticized the harshness of the Treaty of Versailles:

...By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... As inflation proceeds and the real value of the currency fluctuates wildly, all permanent relations between debtors and creditors, which form the ultimate foundation of capitalism, become so utterly disordered as to be almost meaningless.
Keynes re-iterated his views in the mid-1940s when he visited the United States and saw programs that were touted as Keynesian although he viewed them as primarily inflationary."

Obama should be removed by force.

The stock market is soaring and at all time highs.

The housing market is recovering.

Big business is at record profits etc.

Yet I hear all the right wingers (FOX) screaming about how the sky is falling.

What a joke.
