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.
