Wouldn't it be fantastic if I could say I was surprised by this. Your founding fathers would be disgusted by this. I'm Canadian but I have always loved what they were trying to do. It crushes me to the core that "The Great Experiment" has failed so spectacularly.
I have done a lot of studying on the law, and there is a lot of great information on the law here on ATS.
I would never hire an attorney, and I have beaten up a couple pretty badly with the things that I know about the law.....
How are we free when we are forced to spend our time and money as a government dictates to us?
2009– Year of the Slave
You are a slave. You probably do not realize it, but you are...
So, what is a slave? How do we define a slave? What test do we use to tell if someone is a slave. What makes them different from free people?
Free people can say “no”. Free people can refuse demands for their money, time, and children. Slaves cannot. There is no freedom without the freedom to say “no”. If someone demands that you do something and you can say “no” and refuse to do it, then you are a free human being. If you can be forced to do something or surrender something that you do not wish to, then you are a slave. No other test need be applied....
When you are forced to surrender half your life’s work to the government in ever-increasing taxes, then you are a slave. Throughout history, slaves were expected to perform the work needed for their own upkeep, then perform additional work for the rulers. For Roman slaves, the ratio of work-for-self versus work-for-rulers was about 50-50. The same ratio applied to Medieval Serfs, and even to the slaves of the American south. And, when you add up all the overt taxes, covert fees, tariffs, excises, plus the increased price you pay for products to pay the taxes of the companies that make those products, you will find that Americans are at that same “half-for-self” versus “half-for-rulers” ratio! [last I figured it out my tax burden was 64.5% in 1987]
Can you say “no” to the confiscation of half of your life?
Can you even get the masters to maybe reduce the burden by a significant amount?
No? Congratulations. You are a slave....
...The rulers want your children for their future wars. Legislation for a draft is already in Congress. Can you refuse the confiscation of your children?
No? Congratulations. You are a slave.

I agree with you. We all have different goals, in fact, I'm more of a green myself, but I also believe in gun ownership and fair trade (not free trade). We have to agree to a fair, honest discourse with mutual respect for each others' differences. Backroom deals, underhanded tactics; this crap doesn't help anybody and just furthers the distrust between government and the people. The government is supposed to be representative - it is supposed to be by us and for us. It's clearly not composed of people like you and me, real people living real, hardworking lives - and they are certainly not working for us. If politicians acted like statesmen again, we'd all be better off. This is all just a game to them.edit on 25-3-2011 by OhioPariah because: (no reason given)

I could care less about Walker, that's the people of Wisconsin's problem.
What I care about is exposing the kinds of tactics being employed by some of our public officials and the very sinister, amoral and evil nature of them.
Simply to enhance people's awareness that such vile people exist, and they want to rule and control and gain more power through such dishonest manipulations.
Because you are stuck in the left/right political paradigm you can't see the much larger picture involved and might like to see it degrade into a left/right slug fest, but what has transpired here really is so much bigger than that.

Yes.
G. Edward Griffin discusses them in these two PDFs. They are well worth the read.
