Note how governments are increasingly billing for their acts even though we pay taxes to support their various functions. 1776?

I suggest you read up on RogerFGay. He has written some good articles about the government and their underhanded sources of revenue.

Hey Roger? Send this guy some links, but please provide a bit of backround...if you know what I mean?

First it started with fines to be paid for crimes that involved incareration. For those that could pay, they were out of jail. For those that could not, they stayed.

Then it is progressing now that jailees must pay their own room and board, not by working, but having their own families sued for their support.

Does this remind anyone of debtors prisons that out founding fathers fled from?
