Is it time yet to take our lives back? How, vote, fight, or leave?
"“What the government is good at is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms and killing people. It’s not good at much else.” —Author Tom Clancy
Call it what you will—taxes, penalties, fees, fines, regulations, tariffs, tickets, permits, surcharges, tolls, asset forfeitures, foreclosures, etc.—but the only word that truly describes the constant bilking of the American taxpayer by the government and its corporate partners is theft.
We’re operating in a topsy-turvy Sherwood Forest where instead of Robin Hood and his merry band of thieves stealing from the rich to feed the poor, you’ve got the government and its merry band of corporate thieves stealing from the poor to fatten the wallets of the rich. In this way, the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. All the while, the American Dream of peace, prosperity, and liberty has turned into a nightmare of endless wars, debilitating debt, and outright tyranny.
What Americans don’t seem to comprehend is that if the government can arbitrarily take away your property, without your having much say about it, you have no true rights. You’re nothing more than a serf or a slave."

Back to reality, A is A. Theft is Theft.
I am sure you know the original story of Robin Hood was he stole from the government (crown) and gave it back to the people (taxpayers).
The solutions are to a) not go into debt and/or b) leave.
I like that quote, the only thing the beast is good at is taxing, taking rights and killing.
Clancy nailed it!
Hey it's practically Friday...have some fun!
