“Commuter Taxes” are Taking Many Workers for a Ride,Tax Research Group’s Study Finds - Just as with tourist taxes, government rulers love to be able to take money from people who are not able to vote against them.


The new decade of greed - The Clinton 1990s far surpassed the Reagan 1980s.


Time to retire General Washington - Has the one dollar bill outlived its usefulness in the USA?

Entitlements have history of cost overruns - Just as with projected effects of tax law changes, the numbers used to describe new government programs are complete fabrications. Our rulers have a long history of intentionally understating the expected costs of government programs. They know that nothing will ever happen to them when the truth materializes; costs hundreds of times higher than predicted. Most of the current rulers will be out of office by then. They also know that, just as with Medicare, by the time the true costs are realized, everyone will be so used to the system that there will be no political support for discontinuing the program. They are no different than drug pushers, getting as many people addicted to their government programs as possible.

Taxing retirement funds - Our rulers are literally salivating at the idea of getting their mitts on the trillions of dollars people have stashed away.

Social security imbalance sheet - There are still some in DC supporting the concept of allowing people to have more control over their SS money (aka privatization).

What Gives? The Possibilities of Private Charity - People are very generous in support of causes they agree with and efficient local charitable organizations can accomplish a lot more with a lot less than bloated corrupt government programs.
