Is it time yet to take our lives back? How, vote, fight, or leave?

"“What the government is good at is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms and killing people. It’s not good at much else.” —Author Tom Clancy
Call it what you will—taxes, penalties, fees, fines, regulations, tariffs, tickets, permits, surcharges, tolls, asset forfeitures, foreclosures, etc.—but the only word that truly describes the constant bilking of the American taxpayer by the government and its corporate partners is theft.

We’re operating in a topsy-turvy Sherwood Forest where instead of Robin Hood and his merry band of thieves stealing from the rich to feed the poor, you’ve got the government and its merry band of corporate thieves stealing from the poor to fatten the wallets of the rich. In this way, the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. All the while, the American Dream of peace, prosperity, and liberty has turned into a nightmare of endless wars, debilitating debt, and outright tyranny.

What Americans don’t seem to comprehend is that if the government can arbitrarily take away your property, without your having much say about it, you have no true rights. You’re nothing more than a serf or a slave."

    Two things I can't figure out. Why, when what the government does is theft, do so many people resist the obviously correct terminology? If the government is engaged in systematic theft, then it is organized crime, and has been for a long time. We are in fact serfs (actually, serfs only were forced to turn over a quarter of what they produced) or slaves. Until people see the situation for what it is, I don't think real change is possible.

      We're having another discussion on a previous post by khalling about the changes in language that are being pushed by progressive socialists in this country that leads to exactly what you're asking. 'Why do so many people resist the obviously correct terminology'? They're being taught to, by having the basics of communication and language confused purposely in order to introduce changes they wouldn't otherwise agree with.

    Hear, Hear actually it is SLAVERY but theft is a good second.

    I am sure you know the original story of Robin Hood was he stole from the government (crown) and gave it back to the people (taxpayers).

    When going over the DOI it appears to this bonehead that the main purpose of the State is to protect individual rights...yet what is amazing, IMHO is that the State has never done its job from day 1. From July 5th, 1776 to today, the State has on everyone of these days allowed someone's rights to be violated.
    I like that quote, the only thing the beast is good at is taxing, taking rights and killing.
    Clancy nailed it!

    Hey it's practically Friday...have some fun!
