Dear Walter Williams. Good Article. Most Taxpayers wouldn't give Michael Moore's 'Capitalism' movie the time of day! As this is the way it should be! What Taxpayers know is that 'radical and socialism' methods are taking place and apparently, this has been going on since the 1960's. It's gotten worse in past decade. Taxpayers have been so busy making a living, paying taxes, supporting their families they didn't realize their jobs and their stability had been sold, to highest bidder, by the blood-sucking ticks they'd been supporting for years! What politicians are calling recession is more like a depression since Bailouts and Handouts bankrupted America and FDIC now has to be bailed out by banks and need $100 Billion credit line with the US Treasury. Understand, this excessive money, plus the trillions, borrowed without Taxpayers consent, should be enough to sell them a one-way ticket to GITMO, take all their assets to pay off trillions, and make sure the boat is ready to pick them up!

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why the Big 3 automakers, Freddie, Fannie, AIG,ACORN, NAACP, non-profit organizations,and anyone else that took Taxpayers' money they were not entitled to and turn around and lie about it! What Taxpayers don't understand is why the 'blood-sucking ticks' continue to take enormous amounts of money, knowingly, from Drug and Insurance companies, healthcare, hospitals, just to name a couple, and want to further sell out America by telling them their fraudulent Healthcare will put the icing on the cake for total bankruptcy.

Will there be far-reaching consequences? Absolutely should be as Taxpayers must stop the corruption and dishonesty! Have you ever seen the level of greed and stupidity all rolled into one? This is not money that Congress is risking from their pockets or future, but Taxpayers. Taxpayers are fed up! It's time to 'shut down and hunt down' the CEO's, politicians, lobbyists, special interests, and the big money hounds and take all the money back from them, as they, most certainly, didn't earn it and they're absolutely responsible for the bankruptcy of America and most companies.

When Taxpayers think of all the Committees being used by politicians on local,
state, and federal levels, several comes to mind! ‘Ways and Means,
Appropriations, Government Reform, Economics, Financial Services, Pensions,
Ethics, Rules, Finance, Education', and I think you're getting the message, as these public servants absolutely do not have speecial training, but when they step foot into government, they're put on these committees - this should tell you something about how politicians think! For
the past five decades, wouldn't you think that with all these committees someone
honest with intregrity would have stepped up to the plate and put an end to ‘tax &
spend'! Want to know why? They are all in it together!

It's time to put the politicians and their buddies on notice and let them know their
time is limited to one (1) month a year. Their salary, retirements, bonuses,
freebies, long term retirements, spare offices and anything else Taxpayers have
been paying for are getting cut to a maximum of $12,000.00 yearly and absolutely
no raises, since these 'position's were supposed to be 'public servants'. Frankly,
they've never served the Taxpayers only themselves! Really, it's time to hand out the pink slips, run government like a private business and get rid of the corruption and greed.

While I'm on a roll, stop calling the public servants "Czars". They're not Kings or Emperors!

Another excellent article by Walter Williams. Collectivists espouse socialism. But what they really want is for capitalists to be forced to pay for it. And what they don't understand is that they get much more for nothing in a capitalist society than they would in a socialistic one. The real problem starts with their assumption that they are owed the standard of living provided for them by the capitalists.

Fantastic post! Thank you Mr Williams.
