Thanks for these insights, Chuck (and your added comments, Shirley). I think I can see why you folks over there call the IRS the Infernal Revenue Service (we'd probably substitute 'Ripoff' for 'Revenue'). One commentator also sounding a timely warning is your own Lynn Stuter, from NewswithViews.com. Her article When Will America Have Had Enough? may be worth circulating as a resource at any TEA gatherings, for an overview of Obama's presidency thus far. One thing she has revealed is that since coming to office, Obama "has signed into law legislation that will, in one year, put this nation $1.8 trillion further into the hole, bearing in mind that the total deficit spending of the Bush Administration, in eight years, was $400 billion!" That's in just 77 days. No telling what he might do in the next 77. I sure hope you folks can raise up some more Minutemen. Uncle Sam needs them as never before, since the War of Independence.

Oppression rings a bell when Taxpayers think of Barack Obama, Barney Frank, Pelosi, Reid, Waters, Geithner, Rangel,Clintons (just to name a few)! This bunch of radical and socialist idiots are bankrupting America, as we speak, and it seems only a few folks are getting it and are beginning to hold "Tea Party gatherings!" This should tell you something, right? It's obvious, people, who have a job at present, are totally fed up and the ONLY CHANGE THEY WANT TO SEE IS 'FAIR TAX', 'SMALLER GOVERNMENT', 'SMALLER SALARIES AND RETIREMENTS FOR POLITICIANS', and to 'LEAVE THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS ALONE' as this Democratic latest crazy hype "we're going to redistribute wealth" (so they can furnish more social,welfare and insurance programs to the illegitimates) is only going to make America into a third world country! I'm quoting from a cartoon - "They come from far away, commit crimes, and cost Government (We, the Taxpayers) a lot of money - but enough about Congress" the phrase being used by Politicians "Do as I say, not as I do" make Americans wonder if it's time to move abroad? We've heard the speeches from politicians "We'll stop Nafta, Cafta, create jobs, cut taxes, balance the budget, reduce drug costs, cut insurance costs, fix Social Security and WORK for Taxpayers!" Yeah, Right! It's a proven fact, you're not taking care of anyone but your greedy selves! Who's idea was it to supply Taxpayers' money for the rebuilding of anything that's not on American soil? Even rebuilding on American soil, Taxpayers need to hold the checkbooks! Politicians can't be trusted to make decisions that affect America on any level! Politicians have no Credibility! It's so sad to think we've gotten to this level in America! Incidentally, it's been proven politicians can't balance their own checkbooks, so why are Taxpayers allowing them to balance America's budget? Daily we read 'budget squeeze' and see where the Politicians aren't paying their own taxes or bank notes. This should tell Taxpayers that it's time to clean house on every level of government. Their statements "I'll give you what you want, if I get what I want for my pet projects" has to end! This type behavior has gotten us so far in debt using bonds, grants, incentives, non-profit organizations, schools, social and welfare programs as wagers! America has gone backwards and the moral decay is being displayed in society daily! America we have a critical problem!

THIS IS 'THE WAY THINGS ARE REALLY HAPPENING' AND WILL NEVER BE BETTER, UNTIL SALARIES AND RETIREMENTS ARE CUT TO $12,000.00 YEARLY AND BEGIN RUNNING GOVERNMENT LIKE A BUSINESS! NOW, OBAMA, WANTS ALL HIS POLITICAL CRIMINALS TO 'SEEK $100 MILLIONS IN GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCIES! YEAH, RIGHT, THEY'RE STAYING UP NIGHTS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH MORE THEY CAN STEAL BEFORE AMERICA IS TOTALLY UNDER! UNFORTUNATELY, OBAMA THINKS BY 'SHAKING AND EXTENDING HIS HAND & TELLING CHAVEZ & CASTRO' = 'I'M NOT TALKING JUST TO BE TALKING' IS GOING TO MAKE THESE DICTATORS LOVE HIM AND AMERICA, HE'S OH SO MISTAKEN. THESE PEOPLE MAIM, RAPE AND KILL THEIR OWN KIN, AND HE THINKS THEY'LL SPARE HIM - GIVE ME A BREAK! ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS (INCLUDING THE 61 MILLION SOUTHERN GUILFORD JUST BUILT FOR ALL THE NON-TAX PAYERS'), SOCIAL AND WELFARE PROGRAMS AREN'T WORKING! NEVER HAVE! NEVER WILL! And now we're back to comments I've been reading about "Why you ain't"; 'where you is'; 'where he work'; 'who's your baby daddy?' Can you imagine all this is being said on national TV, daily, and politicians say "this is our future and we're going to protect them!" TAXPAYERS are saying "your radical and socialist changes are more than we can stand; therefore, look for the Tea Parties to increase and your pay to come to a screeching halt! The following was sent to me and I'm sending it along! ================================================================================= There was a Pied Piper who said, “We live in the greatest country in the world. Help me change it!” *And the people said, “Change is good!” Then he said, “We are going to tax the rich fat-cats,”…*And the people said “Sock it to them!” “and redistribute their wealth.” *And the people said, “Show me the money!” And then he said, “Redistribution of wealth is good for everybody” *And Joe the plumber said, are you kidding me?” And Joe's personal records were hacked and publicized. *And one lone reporter asked, “Isn't that Marxist policy?” And she was banished from the kingdom! Then someone asked, “With no foreign relations experience, how will you deal with radical terrorists?” And the Pied Piper said, “Simple. I'll sit down and talk with them and show them how nice we really are and they'll forget that they ever wanted to kill us all!” Then the Pied Piper said, “I'll give 95% of you lower taxes.” *And one, lone voice said, “But 40% of us don't pay ANY taxes.” So the Pied Piper said, “Then I'll give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay!” *And the people said, “Show me the money!” Then the Pied Piper said, “I'll tax your Capital Gains when you sell your homes!” *And the people yawned and the slumping housing market collapsed. And he said, “I'll mandate employer- funded health care for EVERY worker and raise the minimum wage.” *And the people said, “Gim'me some of that!” Then he said, “I'll penalize employers who ship jobs overseas.” *And the people said, “Where's my rebate check?” Then the Pied Piper actually said, “I'll bankrupt the coal industry and electricity rates will skyrocket!” *And the people said, “Coal is dirty, coal is evil, no more coal! But we don't care for that part about higher electric rates.” So the Pied Piper said, “Not to worry. If your rebate isn't enough to cover your expenses, we'll bail you out. Just sign up with ACORN and your troubles are over!” Then he said, “Illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted. Let's grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches, free medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing.” *And the people said, “Ole`! Bravo!” And they made him King! And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers. Others simply gave up and went out of business and the economy slowed even further. Then the Pied Piper said, “I am the Messiah and I'm here to save you! We'll just print more money so everyone will have enough!” But our foreign trading partners said, “Wait a minute. Your dollar isn't worth what it was. You'll have to pay more.” *And the people said, “Wait a minute. That's not fair!” And the world said, “Neither are these other, idiotic programs you've embraced. You've become a Socialist state and a second-rate power. Now you'll play by ourrules!” *And the people said, “What have we done?” But it was too late. If you think this is a fairy tale, open your eyes and ears. It's happening RIGHT NOW! Did you know the president's name is really an acronym… One Big Astounding Mistake America
