Break the Law: Get a Tax Break!

I need to figure out how to be retroactively illegal so I can get back all those taxes I paid.

The worst insult is illegals receive tax amnesty. That's something law-abiding American taxpayers wil never get.

If Congress passes this bill...........everyone of them that votes for it should be recalled. It’s time they start listening to the people....if that’s possible.

To be fair, millions of citizens move $billions under the table too. I don’t know how you could document a wad a bills that went into someone’s pocket 5 years ago.

There are so many laws on the books that it is virtually impossible to go through a day with out breaking a dozen. Even if you stay in the house all day.

I don’t see why I should abide by any law I don’t agree with as long as I can get away with breaking it. Let your conscience be your guide.

Now we can't have senators not able to commit treason, it would be un-American, in the new world order...../s

I am firmly convinced that Bush has lost his mind.

I think such a recall should be organized now before they pass this outrage, if for no other reason, than to let the schmucks in DC know just how angry the American people are with their “in your face” arrogance. We have “never” had such a collection of power-hungry ego maniacs in office in American history. American patriots are turning in their graves at this disgrace.

Since the passage of this law will be the closest thing we get to an official announcement that obeying the law is optional, I’ll take it in the appropriate spirit:

The moment the immigration bill is signed, I’m going to start underreporting my income. With the tax savings, I’m going to buy black market machine guns and armor-piercing ammo. Maybe I’ll even start growing some marijuana to enhance my financing efforts for the guns.*

*No, IRS, BATF and DEA, I won’t really be doing this. BUT CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY I SHOULDN’T?!

President Bush has accused conservatives of "scaring" people merely by pointing to the many flaws in his immigration proposal

Remember how Marty McFly was always goaded into doing something stupid when his nemesis called him "chicken"?

Ah there's the rub. Since everone's a law breaker, everyone is even more firmly controled by the state. Rand explains it all in "Atlas Shrugs".

as long as I can get away with breaking it.

There are so many laws on the books that it is virtually impossible to go through a day with out breaking a dozen. Even if you stay in the house all day.

"Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We WANT them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted -- and you create a nation of law-breakers -- and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."

-- Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

BTW, I think that somewhere there must be a law against staying in your house all day.

Seriously, that aspect of our society (too many laws and regulations) is WAY out of hand. I personally favor a constitutional amendment on both the federal and state levels that requires ALL laws and ALL regulations to sunset after 10 years. If the laws are worthwhile, they'll get passed again (hopefully with some good amendments). More to the point, the various legislatures will be so busy reviewing and re-passing old laws that their production of new laws will tail off quite a bit.

The message is not that obeying the law is optional. The message is that enforcment of the law is completely arbatrar. That makes all the difference in the world.

obeying the law is optional,

What did Dan Quayle say? (Speaking to the NAACP or some such group...)

“What a terrible thing it is to lose one’s mind, or to have never have had a mind at all.”

Is it possible that the left was right about W for the wrong reasons?

Personally, I have come to the thinking W got used up by 9/11/2001 and should have never run for a second term.
