The Jimmah gas lines were the demarcation point in my mind.

How are you getting nailed at 61%? The highest tax rate is 39.6% (still a disgusting rate).

Be careful that you are not also done with Christ.

A constructive suggestion followed is worth many privations, by the way. Have them pass out gospel pamphlets with the food, if nothing more.

Sometimes we can be so disgusted with what is done wrong that we fail to even see what is done right, or what seemingly minor changes can be made to turn what is done wrong to what is done right.

Work you do for yourself is untaxed.

As long as there is at least a small source of income (living off savings, investments, pension), your time is your own (at least at the moment).

It's a Galtian limbo.

Well God says to trust in Him and quit worrying.

Are you willing to dare to do that?

That is just a hypothetical fix, which would prevent the crash and burn and I know it has no chance.

Crashing and burning we go.

The system is BROKEN.... and there is no fix.

There is a fix. We have been shown what that fix is, and every thinking patriot knows what it is. The problem is that the people who would have to apply this "fix" don't have the stomach for it...yet.

The feds want their little slaves and no tax payer representation.

Think they have that right now.

Lump in the rest, yeah, I can see 61% (I am very close to that myself). He said federal taxes; I didn’t get that.

During the time of the founding fathers, only property owners could vote. It was changed later. So they were right. We screwed ourselves by not listening to them.

I posted a couple of replies [5 & 27] on one of the previous threads http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3093878/posts and I remember Lucy the day she called into KLBJ. She tried to “walk back” her claims on a later show. She either lied on the first show or the second show. Typical 0 bummer supporter to say the least.

“Thanks to this Depression our economy is in”

I was just thinking that there seems to be too little awareness of the fact that many—probably millions—of people who are not working would very much like to be working.

It is no longer true that there are jobs for everyone.

The 20 something mom will have her little collection of Medicaid cards that she has to shuffle through to find the right kid.<<

The fix you’re speaking of leaves everyone virtually bankrupt. It may set things “straight” the way we would want... but it will destroy the economy of our country.

“The system is BROKEN.... and there is no fix.”

People who should never be in charge of *anything* are in charge of practically everything.

Fix that and you have fixed the system.
