And more and more we are consumers willing and demanding to have others pay for what we consume.
We have largely forgotten the pride of self-sufficiency, the pride of earning our own bread and the pride of ownership of our own destiny.
We have become slaves and haven’t yet realized that fact.
So, how close to 0% before one ‘calls the game’? Sorry, the Republic was lost over 100 yrs. ago.
We’ve already regressed to the title of serfs in all but name; I don’t believe even their burden of taxes were as high as most. Even more are economic slaves to the ‘generosity’ of govt welfare. No State stands up to assert its 9th, 10th Rights, or those of its Citizens (all being bribed with the $$ of their own peoples, if not drunk off the power/$$ of their own unconstitutional lawlessness).
Yet, I see only lip service paid to our founding documents. Even Cruz touts replacing the income tax...with another slavery tax (flat tax. Nothing ‘voluntary’ there!). Where’s his call to return to a limited govt? How ‘bout abolishing medicaid, SS and the other ponzi schemes, Cruz? Are those not also bad, if not worse?
Nowhere do I see a repeal of any law, any dept. and agency, let alone a start of discussion that BEGINS with/in/based-upon...the Constitution.
Lip service, bloviating and pomposity.
Even if the rumbling of taking back our Life, Liberty and Freedom grow, boot of govt will just assert more pressure to the neck of the Republic. Even if War of Indep. II were to break out, it would never be the same, nor as free, as after the 1st.
Thank God you weren’t at Omaha Beach during WWII.
Of course, you wouldn’t have been there. Men were there.
You want to curl up and hide from your moral obligations?
OK, leave it to the men to do what needs to be done.
Regardless of the Leftist debate tactics, the original question still stands.
Though, I’d still love to hear of this ‘moral obligation’...to whom? Consisting of? Defined by?
Sounds like more Socialist ‘it takes a village’ guano.
But, if ‘men’, like you, is what it took to get us where we are today, I’ll gladly leave the mess-making up to you and yours. Those of us that refuse to hold our nose for the ‘lesser of’ will continue to fight the debate of ideas, hearts and minds.
This is all part of God’s will...how we react to it, the faith that we have and never lose in God Almighty during events that shake us to the core is what matters.
How close to zero? It’s so obvious it doesn’t need answering but for people like you.
Zero.
That’s why you aren’t suited for the fight.
Bless your little heart. One too blind to see it’s ALREADY 0% and we’re watching the ‘slip into slavery’ part of the cycle.
But, thanks for trying. Maybe the next GOPe you ‘vote’ into office will lower the gauge of the chains that are surely to come to most.
I only hope I can take a few with me before I pass.
We are at 0% and yet you are on the internet still whining and not in front of a government firing squad for saying the things you’re saying?
Your perspective is more than bit out of whack.
