The implication of the article was that the US government couldn't operate without constant taxes.

We're in debt now up to our eyeballs so a little more debt wouldn't break the bank. Someone would print more money, sell bonds, issue treasuries etc. Besides, payroll taxes are taken out every week, but companies pass the money along quarterly.

It's akin to a Russian not understanding how an American can go buy Christmas present when they're out of money and in hock to half the town. It's something we call using "credit cards". When I read your post, I felt the person writing it had not lived in an American culture.

But your post makes no sense. Payroll and sales taxes are collected on a constant basis.

This thread was doing fine and worth reading until it started deteriorating into kookiness with theories of Russia-was-behind-9-11 and Euro socialism nonsense. What a bunch of gullible, malleable nincompoops!! Do you ever stop and read what you've written or how PC (a euphemism for fear and intimidation) is taking control of your faculties? Russia was behind 9-11 my foot! The next thing I'll read is some good-for-nothing, brainless say that Bush knew all along.
