US Income Tax - Unconstitutional

[Gandalf Parker]

Eventually we will become the future as seen in the Star Trek series. We will either be the Federation (ultimate democrats) or the Ferrengi (ultimate republicans). Altho lately under Bush its been feeling more and more Romulan.

[Atrocities]

The sad thing is, I wouldn't want to live under the Federation as they ten to dictate how people should behave and they enforce their will upon others. If you want to live in our society, you have to follow our rules... and those keep changing depending upon our mood.

I don't think Bush is a Romulan, a Ferengi yes, a Romulan no. If you think Bush abused his power, wait until the next bastard, or women, gets into office. Then you are going to see some real right stomping, goose stepping, totalitarianism. I at least somewhat trust Bush, I do not however trust Clinton. Ever wonder what could happen if the wrong person now gets into office? We all know that Clinton fired all of the US Attorney's when he was elected and nothing was said, but Bush fires 10 and all hell breaks loose. Wait until Clinton is elected into office and see what the lady does. She will make bush and her husband look like lovable panda bears by comparison.

I trust her to kick the crap out of any nation that attacks us, but there is a caveat. Like her husband, she too has a sweet spot for the old Chinese money, anti-freedom beliefs, and a strong tendency toward socialism, ala Stalin style, that frankly scares the hell out of me. (In other words, people are going to start disappearing once that *itch gets into office.)

I am of the firm belief that someone like her, a power mad evil women of epic conniving proportions who is a master manipulating back stabbing professional liar should NEVER given the power or office of the Presidency. To do so would be to empower a monster that would make Stalin look like a weak sister.

This is missing the issue completely. Every president fires the last president's attorneys when they get into office. It's understandable that Clinton wouldn't want Bush Sr.'s republican attorneys, anymore than Bush Jr. would want Clinton's democrat attorneys. The issue here is that Bush Jr. fired his OWN republican attorney's midterm for not going after enough Democrats**. It is important to consider that in many close elections (where there is about a 2% swing, such as existed in the time leading up to the '06 elections) an indictment, even one that will eventually be acquitted is strong enough to help the other party win.

**Which is rather ridiculous frankly, because during the Bush presidency the offices of the U.S. Attorneys across the nation investigated seven times as many Democratic officials as they investigated Republican officials, a number that exceeds even the racial profiling of African Americans in traffic stops.

Yet we have lost both Dems and Reps to corruption over the last seven years. This just proves that even those whom we expect to be incorruptible can be corrupted.

Think of the US economic system as a large credit card.

The Federal Reserve is Citi-bank and they issued the US Government a credit card. Whenever the US government needs money they just go the US Mint access their Citi-bank visa and withdraw 10 billion. This money comes from no where, it is literally just printed up on credit. The US Government then taxes us to pay the interest that this illusionary borrowed money incurs. We all know how much trouble a person can get into with credit cards, now image that problem on the grand scale of our Government and won't take a crystal ball to see how this is going to end.
