What he said!

The historical clock is ticking, even if the economy isn’t.

Steyn always has a way of crystallizing seeming disparate things with the big picture ... the escalators that only go down, for example ...

And pointing out that the 1099 means an inability to conduct a person to person business deal without involving the government ... I’m sure most people don’t even begin to think of it that way ... that you cannot have a transaction between private citizens, mutually agreed upon, without involving the feds ...

In a way I look forward to the whole f%$#ing thing crashing down, because it is obviously too late to fix it working inside the system.

I suspect it is actually too late. The politicians have known this since that “double top secret” meeting they had at night in March 2008, I imagine.

Once you accept the principle that one citizen cannot contract with another without filing paperwork with the state, imposing ever more onerous conditions is merely a difference of degree.

Yep.

” What was it they used to say? If we give up our freedoms, the terrorists will have won! Whether or not the terrorists have won, the bureaucrats have. And they’re a more profound existential threat to America than the terrorists will ever be. “

Tyranny comes, not with the blaze of gunfire, but with the quiet rustle of paperwork....

The problem started when our ancestors decided that it was ok for the government to even know how much its citizens own or earn.

Once that was decided, the government earnestly began its quest to take it all away from us.

Abolish the IRS and the rest will fall.
