How much more is enough? You do realize with the passing of the Health Care Bill and soon to be Cap & Trade this list is going to be larger and the rates on those listed above is going to go higher too! We got rid of one King over one tax and now we have roughly 535 kings, queens and lords with a grocery list of taxes!?!? Sorry, in modern times we call them Presidents, Senators, Representatives...
If our Founding Fathers could come back today I think they would look at us all in disgust. I say all because the blame isn't just towards the power hungry and corrupt in DC, state and local governments but we the people are to blame for allowing it to get this far. What they did was for the people, and look at what we have done with their sacrifices. They did not put their lives on the line for us to have this mess we have today; massive debt, a power hungry broken government, fighting wars on foreign lands. Too much has been taken for granted, too much power has been given to the government, too many Americans are living in complacency or denial.
I don’t care if your a democrat, republican, independent, whatever, fact is we are in trouble. We were promised hope & change not only by the current president & admin but by all government leaders and its nothing but the same. These people are not working for us they are working against us...
".....That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
Sound familiar? Time for a new plan because status quo isn't working. Worst off, we now have a President who campaigned where he made his infamous statement “5 days away from Fundamentally Transforming the United States of America” is More Like Systematically Destroying the United States of America
Happy 4th!
