For more than six months of every year the average American toils not for his family, for his needs, or for his future. No, for the first six months of the year the average American works to pay the cost of federal, state, and local taxes and regulations. From New Years Day until about the 4th of July, you worked to pay for government. This is unconscionable. Our Founding Fathers no doubt would be embarrassed at our squandering of their vision. After all, they revolted at a comparable tax rate in the single digits or less. And yet we willingly suffer an effective tax rate of 50%, and much more in many cases... Bingo.

Uh oh...someone criticizing the status quo of 12.5% annual increases in NON DEFENSE spending under the Republicans..
someone not cheerleading the current state of things in Washington..
Someone who believes expanding individual FREEDOM should be the main goal of politicians in Washington...
Get ready for the Libertarian bashing.

The freedom we enjoy today is the direct result of the commitment of men and women who refused to compromise their ideals. Certainly they failed at times, but they understood that the goal was liberty. Today our government and society seem to have lost sight of this goal.
