You can eat an elephant if you take enough bites. Don''t go to concerts or sporting events, the people participating in these events wouldn''t pay 10 cents to see me, why pay hundreds of dollars to see them.
By the way, in the 60''s we had nerve, but most true freethinkers sold out for the dollar. Became complacent and became afraid of the establishment. Sad indeed!

Every Federal govt has a NATIONAL DEBT.The "CATCH"is that it requires interest to be paid.There is nothing wrong if it is limited to an amount equivalent to 30% of G.D.P.or about 12% of the ANNUAL BUDGET.Right now it is 27%.With MILITARY AT 50%,ONLY 33% is left to run all other Federal operations.OUCH!!!!

No orginazition! If everyone done it and everyone was fired, who would do the work for the czars?

In 1963 the dollar had the words "Silver Certificate" written across the top of it. Now it has the words "Federal Reserve Note" in place of that, which is a fancy name for IOU.

And for all you bible thumpers, the politicians left in god we trust on your money. Guess that made them feel better. What better way to control the masses than to invoke the name of god? Use the name of god and you can just about get people to follow you and do your bidding. What a world! Praise god and send we more money. Does nobody have an original idea anymore? Have we been hoodwinked so long that you can spit in my face and tell me it''s raining and i''ll believe you?

If we all refuse to pay income tax, by changing our witholdings, are there enough prisons to hold us if we don''t pay at year end? Guess we could get the money from Iraq to build them. I for one am tired of the gov. deep pockets. Rebuild a city below sea level, buy a tornado ravaged town on a superfund site, fund a severance package to a corporate ceo that he lead into finacial ruin. All the same, STUPID! We are the ones in control, yet politicians are like russian czars, take what they want and leave we the people crumbs. Stop the circle.

Isn''t it strange how Uncle Sam wants to rescue those that do not know how to manage money?

Uncle Sam is the most irresponsible handler of money that I have ever known.

Lets look up the voters for McSAME and Bushie, send them the bill...they have plenty of pork rinds...maybe they can barter and sell off all the assets of McSAME, Bush and Cheney...

[nirak2-2009]

Who will bail out Uncle Sam?
None other than the good tax payers but the Idiots who voted for Bush and will vote for McCain, will not mind at all.
Actually they deserve to pay and pay, just too bad the sane voters will suffer too.

[easeup-2009]

Who is going to bail us out?...China, of course.
If we were playing Monoply, they would hold all the the cards, except perhaps pay $50 or go to jail.
These games being played by the Fed is going to end with another Great Depression. When George leaves office, all the cards will fall down and America, as we know it today, will no longer exist.

So Foxy Loxy led Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, Goosey Loosey, and Turkey Lurkey across a field and through the woods. He led them straight to his den, and they never saw the king to tell him that the sky is falling.
