well if you really desire freedom...

I hear border protection is a joke....

Imagine the world headlines when convoys of Americans are driving through the mexican border and asking for political asylum from their oppressive regime?


LOL I've been thinking along the same lines but I've got this scarey image of Mexican refugee camps and all of us huddled around a Mexican Home Depot.

No matter how much money we give or they take from us the government will always misappropriate or loose track of those funds. When they can account for the pallets of money sent to Iraq then maybe they can ask for donations with clean hands. Until then let their rich buddies they do favors for finance their shell game.

I say no way,no how and no more!
Besides,if you volunteered to pay
more taxes to relieve the national
debt.The money would be used to
pay for something else,like some
politician's daughter's wedding,maybe,
line his pocket instead.The money
would not be spent wisely,they have
already proven that fact!

In nature. All drones do is eat and hope they get lucky with the queen. Doesn't that sound more like our government?


However when the weather cools the honeybees throw the drones out of the hive to starve. I wishe we could do the same.

Come on now. There are plenty of things you buy that you believe you need/want/has value. I am feeling the pinch just as well as everyone. But I am not gonna sit here and say that I haven't spent money on things that I don't really need. Cell phone, internet, ect... I would be lying. And so would most everyone else.

There are plenty of people who are in a bad spot, I understand this, but there are also plenty of people who can and would spend $5 they earned on something they think is valuable.

I'm sorry if my posts were offensive in some way. I just honestly believe its the truth. Otherwise, how would all the businesses be making any money, if we weren't spending any? Cell phone companies are still going strong. Best Buy isn't going out of business (all they do is sell luxury items)

Maybe CIA should instill an oppressive puppet dictator at the Bilderberg group and steal back all the loot the globalist crooks stole?

Nahh just keep on spreading disinfo and assasinating civilians/politicians.

Kinda odd they are trying to pass a bill. They are already collecting donations.

www.treasurydirect.gov...

The best year was in 2009 when they collected around 3 million.

So,as I get this these in Congress would want "We the People" to pay for their Wars of aggression.

Did not Vietnam brake the Bank?

Now that they broke it again, they wish to take what remains of "We the People" in order to pay down a War debt again?

Man Oh man they are far reaching to where they never should.

It's Ok to receive huge campaign contributions from Corporations to run for their stink'in seats in Congress while 14 million American Teens go with no home or meal a day.
" " full Medical Benefits for themselves.
" " full retirement for themselves after one term
" " lobbyist jobs to represent their Corporate donor's
" " Oil in exchange for Blood
" " our blood, sweat and toil to provide for their causes and give back nothing but hardship

The list is to long of what they have taken from "We the People" for themselves.

It's not enough to not Budget for War, now they wish for "We the People" to continue to be of a Patriotic nature and give until it hurts as if it doesn't hurt enough when we pay 35% and the 2% of the Rich pay either nothing or 15%.

What I have to say about this doesn't mean Crap to them or for that fact any of them but one. That Social Democrat in Senate, who stands for fairness and equality that was once the Hallmark of this once Great Empire after WWII.

Gotta take that plaque off that Lady in the NY Harbor.

Now tell me how, with no jobs waiting for any returning soldiers, that we can bring them home and not expect to see these who have PTSD and Brain Damage not react irrationally when they see how they in Congress wish to destroy what they thought they were fighting for?

As one with PTSD and once trained to kill an enemy with my 308 Savage Snip Rifle from a mile away, I know that some may not have the restraint as I in settling matters the way they trained these Boy's and Girl's to do.
I have to take a drug in order to sleep and stay rational.

I will say this much, when some one has mental issues as severe as a large percentage of what these have, you can expect some more Timothy's in the crowd.

They are not taking into account that they have a bigger problem on their hands when they take away these individual soldiers family the Care that they fought for.
Abandon these Kid's Grandparents or Parents to a life of destitution and you will see Blood in the Streets of Zip Codes where these same Rich Live. For these Soldiers were trained in " Search and Destroy Missions" lest they forget.

So, we should all hope for the hopeless that these in Congress do not take away anything from "We the People"

We have History to see what happened to the Vets from WWI.
We have History to see they will be willing to kill US Citizens when deemed it has to be done. Four dead in OHIO.

Do any here remember the Riots of the late 60's?
I remember towns on fire from injustice to a few (Blacks).
Can you imagine what would happen if they proceeded with injustice to the many?
I can.

As an Old Preacher from those days I saw, that treating others as less or lower then the rest doesn't last that long.

As far as I can see and it ain't that far, We all are in for a # Storm to come from these Tea Partiers I call the Fascist Party.

Why doesnt the cia and the atf punch a new tunnel under the border and double up on their coke shipments to pay for it? I mean really, stop hiring those expensive mules and go get a load of guys at home depot. cut costs, save money.

They got about 3 million left they cant use for fast and furious. They may as well roll the snowball over a few times and break some off to cover the debt.

In Canada there's a spot on the end of Income tax forms asking if you'd like to donate part of your income tax return to pay off the debt [in Ontario at least]. I always lol when I get to that part.Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to pass .

I've got a couple of dollars left after I paid my bills for the month. I guess I could donate to the cause.

On second thought, it'll just get mispent.

Stupid bill and a waste of time. Anyone, at anytime, can pay extra to the IRS.

Wait a minute. Voluntarily pay into the government?

Isn't that called Taxes?

No, I do not wish to try again, because according to the law the are voluntary.


And as a citizen of this country, you agree to voluntarily send in your tax money.

It's common sense.

You don't HAVE to pay taxes, but their is jail time you will be facing, plus there are those who would say, that if you don't like to pay taxes to the US, don't live there.... I would never say such at thing of course.


Now, if you wish to actually have a conversation rather than just yell "no", please feel free to start.

How about BOTH SIDES of the political aisle volunteer to do whats right for the people and cut spending instead. If you taxed every person that makes more than $200,000 at 100% (that means an income cap at $200K) that will only produce about $180B per year. The overspending (deficit) is $1.4 trillion each year. There isn't a tax problem there is a spending problem. Making villians out of success is out of the book the "Art of War" called deflection (from truth and facts), deception, and is a ploy for weak minded citizens that love to engage in ENVY (1 of the deadly 7 sins) and coveting thy neighbors goods (one of the Big 10).
