Check out all your government buildings nowadays...I'm talknig about local, city, county, state, and the feds...
Was this you parents government?
Government buildings, even DMV's now have CCTV cameras, secured parking for their overpaid employees, razor wire, automated vehicle barriers, dogs, scanners, hundreds of thousands of armed guards searching all citizens who enter, card lock entries, bullet proof glass, etc..
The cost of these armed, fortress like government installations have cost the tax payers hundreds of billions.....
Black Sheep dun’it...;0)
Banks can still (and still do) issue notes. See HSBC Bearer Notes. The question is which entities have the right to "increase the money supply" or create money in the first place.
Anyway, I agree that the Federal Reserve is a bastardization of government and industry, ala Freddie and Fannie, only more insidious on account of the Federal reserve isn't as accountable to the people as Congress is. My simplistic explanation is that where Congress used to issue money in an accountable fashion (and has the authority to do so without entering into a borrowing/debt agreement with a bank), now it hides behind "The Federal Reserve," and promises to the Federal Reserve to repay MORE than it borrows from the Federal Reserve, with the difference to be made up by tax receipts.
I’d like a coffee table book full of the gruesome demise of hacks, flim flammers, impostors, political feather merchants all of whom that were hung, shot, stoned, quartered, buried, burned, ripped apart, set adrift....
We should have a national political hacks suck day.
Naturally I doubt our parasitic oxygen thieves would be enthused about certain notions existing amongst the rabble.
Thanks, but I’ll keep my 18” Benelli Tactical. Of course it’s nice to know that the 18” barrel law only applies to we “little people!” I wonder when the IRS goon squad will begin knocking down doors of those recalcitrant tax “cheats”....you know, not the democrats, but the folks who actually work for and wish to keep as much of their own money as possible!
I got you. We’re in the same small ball park. (
Which some day might be a urban holding pen for the roundup. I’ll be the one with the DT’s. )
Also, if you’re not a very good shot. Using a 38 detective
special, I missed a bobcat at 40 feet.
“snubnose”?
I don’t think many folks would claim accuracy at “bobcat distances” with one of those.
Say, I bet you open paint cans with screwdrivers, don’t you?

No Harry Reed says its a voluntary system.
Good goose gun!;^)
14 FOOT shotguns????
When the govt can print money, as they do, what we really have is a currency based on the entire physical plant and GNP of the US America. When they print more, the value of the money in our bank accounts decreases. By their action, they are selling off a piece of the whole asset base of the US. They are either stealing, or they own us lock stock and barrel and can sell us or save us at their whim.
That's true. But it will be limited to businesses who are collecting sales tax and not reporting it or are incorrectly reporting business to business transactions.
A 90% reduction in the number of entities to audit and the fact that 80% of the tax collections will come through only about 20% of the retailers will make focused auditing easier.
And the enforcer is less likely to meet armed resistance when auditing Walmart* and Sears than at Joe's Garage.
Also, states will become the primary enforcer and they have become adept at spotting bogus sales tax reports.
PING!
And Walmart would have more resources to hire lawyers and accountants to battle the enforcers.
FedGov.com?? No improvising.
I vote for all four.
Those large entities are what are called ‘Tax Farmers’. They collect and deliver taxes, much as farmers deliver pumpkins or corn.
In ten years we will see ‘Letters of Marque’ type organizations that will ‘Dog The Bounty Hunter’ roam and collect taxes for a percentage. They will be given near Treasury agent like rights to armed entry, open books, etc...
Wow, give ‘em an inch and they’ll take 14 feet!
