"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Those Numbing Budget Numbers Mean Something
"For example, consider a hypothetical 33-year-old Fort Worth suburbanite -- a college graduate who earns $39,514 per year, the average per capita for the area. We chose that age because in 2009, the most recent year for which government data are available, that was the median age for the DFW metro area. According to our calculations, that individual, based on current tax rates and a projected lifespan of 80 years, will pay more than $426,297 in future federal taxes to finance government spending."

Taxes don't pay for anything. A printing press does. Or worse yet, numbers created out of thin air on a computer. Taxes are only there to FOOL us into THINKING we are paying for something. And they are used for CONTROL and persecution.
