(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) told a gathering of Democrats, “The bottom line is we’re not broke, there’s plenty of money, it’s just the government doesn’t have it.” Ellison was discussing his ‘Inclusive Prosperity Act’ measure at the July 25th Progressive Democrats of America roundtable in Washington.

“People like, George Soros, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Paul Krugman, Joe Stiglitz, Jeffrey Sax, Dean Baker, Robert Poland, Larry Summers have said they all support a transaction tax,” Ellison said.

“The bottom line is we’re not broke, there’s plenty of money, it’s just the government doesn’t have it,” Ellison continued, “The government has a right, the government and the people of the United States have a right to run the programs of the United States. Health, welfare, housing – all these things.”

To: plain talk

Drip, drip, drip. When they increase our taxes by a few dollars, we just pay it. After all, we’re law-abiding citizens, aren’t we.

What does it take to push back? Can we reverse this by using lawful methods? I’m not convinced the goobermint is using lawful methods to foist these taxes (and other things like invasion of privacy) upon us.

We talk and talk and type and type, while meanwhile the idiots, sociopaths, and truly evil types in power continue oppressing us.
