This year, Americans have to work until July 15 to pay for the burden of government, more than six months.

Well, if ANY of you had a scintilla of doubt that it's out of control, here's the proof and a useful article to hand out to the dumbos who STILL think more government is a GOOD thing.

Sickening and depressing as all get out.

Tell old Pharaoh Obama, “let my people go.”

Socialism/Communism is very expensive. Throw in the costs of running a police state and the cost of “government” can soar out of sight! The cost of building an army of IRS taxmen is insane.

I don’t understand how this can be. Obama and the Democrats have told me that we are paying the lowest taxes in....forever, because of their tax breaks. I believe them not you.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,

and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. “

“— And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”

Were these wasted words? Do they have no meaning? Were our Founding Fathers wrong? Are we cowards? Is it already too late to care?

Not only did the FFs believe, as you so correctly point out that:
“...it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,...”

BUT there were opinions of that day (paraphrased) which took it a step further, (but unfortunately did not see fit to include in our founding docs):

“...that it is their duty to do so ...”
