We need to find a way to get accountability from Congress. We have a right to know (down to the last penny) where OUR money goes. I mean a complete list of everything and who sponsored it. A congress person’s job is NOT to bring home the bacon. Call or write your Rep and push for a ballot measure locally so we know what these crooks are up to. Use Byrd as an example of misuse of the people’s funds.

The only way this will end is if there were a nationwide tax revolt. If half the country decided, “The hell with this. I’m not paying my taxes!”, what would the Feds do, arrest half the population? Unfortunately, our country is populated by too many sheep who would never even think of taking part in such a protest.

What we need is a legal tax revolt. What happens if suddenly 50 million people file extensions to pay their taxes…say for a couple months.

There are a couple of options the voters will do. 1. Continue to vote for them and keep them in office because they bring home the bacon. 2. Vote the Republicans out of office, because they don't have Conservative values, by voting for a Democrat.

I can not get my calculator to even state trillions.

at one point the saying was “a million here and a million there and pretty soon it adds up” then we substituted billions for millions, and now we are about to substitute trillions instead of billions. at present we owe over 10 trillion dollars, or $100,000 for every american, man woman and child. how much more debt do we really want to leave our kids, or should we just go bankrupt like russia, or nationalize the debt like africa.

Since when did the elected officials really care about what the public thinks about anything? We’re just the stupid, smelly masses.

Trouble is, I’m not sure the majority of the American electorate understands that and consequently, we get national bridge to zoo.
