America is over. At least, the America that most of us knew.
Let's face it: the portion of the citizenry comprised of ignoramouses (well-meaning though they may be), and flat-out lazy takers, who have no shame and see nothing wrong with taking from their neighbors, has finally passed the tipping point. The roller coaster has reached the top of the hill, and it's all downhill from here.
Well said, my friend...

Morally, tax avoidance becomes an imperative.
