"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that justifies it."

Since we're talking about our wonderful Imperial Federal Government .... Here are some shocking facts to keep in mind:

- The cost of our federal government is 25% of our total economy (GDP). This is compared with the average of 20.7% of the GDP during 1970-2009

- If you include the cost of state and local government, the total cost of government is almost 40% of our GDP

- Since 2008, the cost of our federal government has increased by one-fourth

- By 2020, Obama will have increased the federal government by one-half on a per family basis

- Before the recession, federal spending totaled $24,000 per household

- By 2020, Obama would raise that to $36,000 per household

Just remember these numbers folks. They have meaning.

What others are saying

  • Taxes
    The government will not be satisfied until every employer is required to send our paychecks directly to them, so that they may pass on to us only what they think we need to survive.
    Of course, those who vote for them will "need" more than those of us who believe in freedom.
    I'm glad most of my retirement investments are overseas.
    I'm sad that I will have to move overseas to enjoy them.

  • No booger
    I am saying Ron Paul might never get a shot because they control who gets a shot. If Ron Paul ever got in there he would completely destroy their control mechanism and the people of this country would be astounded by how good REAL freedom is. We would be flabbergasted.

  • There is ONLY an illusion of a 2 party system.
    So it really does not matter who is elected then, even the Paul boys would be under their control

  • Think about this
    Look at how much Bush spent on the war on terror. That will definitely get conservatives so mad they might break a window in their trailers

  • Now consider this...
    If McCain had been elected the EXACT same scenario would have played out. It is because both parties are run by the same international central bankers. There is no 2 party system of government in this country. There is ONLY an illusion of a 2 party system.
