I just got thinking....if we put a end to all the departments like what Ron Paul is demanding...like the IRS, ATF, DOL, DOE, VA, ETC
We are going to layoff somewhere 2,000,000 from the Federal Employment Payroll.
Civilian sector can only take on so many workers.
What will Dr Paul do then without starting another Revolution of angry unemployed who lost their homes because they couldn’t pay the mortgages?
How is that going to ripple through our economy?
Remember Ron Paul is no Ronald Reagan....
People like change...but not radical change.
The problem is not going to go away until as a country we cut spending, we spend more than we make. . Having programs in place that are detrimental to society, and is nothing more than transferring wealth from the middle class, to other middle class citizens so everyone is struggling is not the answer. Taking a dollar from someone, giving 50 cents of it to corruption and waste and filtering it to corporations, then pumping the other 50 cents back to the people you took it from in the first place is whats keeping the middle class down.
We have a system in place where one parent works to feed the family, while the other works to feed the government. How can one use taxing the income of its population as a reason to keep IRS agents employed. According to the governments own numbers the average person pays 51.7% of their earnings to some form of taxes, and the percentage is growing by the decade.
What is happening to the middle class? When are people going to wake up? Have you ever bothered to read the federal reserve act of 1913? Do you understand that a private corporation prints money, not the federal government. We issue them debt ridden bonds to print this money. What kind of logic is that? Why is the government not printing their own debt free money? Why should we be paying a third party to print money for the government, and we pay them mass amounts of money. This just angers me talking about it, and what’s worst is so many Americans think this system is perfectly fine, when the alternative would be prosperity for so many Americans.
