Pick up any newspaper, listen to the radio, watch TV, or read hundreds of Internet articles and you will find that states, counties and cities are salivating (or is it swooning) over getting a piece of Obamas un-read, 1,100-page, Stimulus Package. It is not only disgusting, it borders on criminality.
Government can only exist on our taxes. But government, at every level, has spent and spent and spent, when economic times were good, without any regard to the inescapable fact that times wont be good, sometime in the very near future. Why? Because economies are cyclical and even more so when government tinkers with the economy, as they are doing now and have been for 80 to 100 years. Which means, government has taxed and taxed and taxed to pay for their unconscionable spending.
Now with the economy seriously tanking and every level of government running huge deficits, or just flat broke, they are scrambling to make up for their gross, criminal negligence on the backs of the producers in todays society and the fruits of the labors of our children and grand children. They are circling like vultures to get their piece of the carrion called the Trillion Dollar Obama/Pelosi/Reid Stimulus package, that was borrowed from future generations to bail out this one.
If all this government spending was to pay for the true functions of government, it wouldnt be so bad. But the large percentage of government spending (well over 50%) is for the sole purpose of buying off segments of society, that will vote for the politicians who will use their political power to continue the gifts.

Only when the Silent Majority realize that their tax money is being used to environmentally enslave them; only when the Silent Majority realize that their tax money is being used to feed a growing population of other people dipping their bills in the government pig trough" and those takers voting for those very same politicians who take our tax money by force to keep the trough full; only when the Silent Majority realize that our government is using our tax money to merge America into the one-world-order; only when this Silent Majority realize that the only way to stop this insanity is to resist government in every legal way possible, then and only then will principled changes ever occur. The alternative is civil war, revolution, or even worse, government-institutional slavery.
When the Silent Majority knows this, freedom could be in their grasp. Ron Ewart

There you have it. Somebody's doing the translating, and it sure ain't the religious scholars.
