So I get it that you don’t want to pay taxes. What is your solution to current problems of this country such as crumbling infrastructure, dysfunctional health care system, immigration and border issues, the “war on terror”, banks that won’t lend and so forth? Is tinkerbell going to show up and make this stuff go away with a whisk of her wand? In the face of the largest deficit ever, collapsed banking system, and bankruptcy for an amazing number of formerly blue chip US firms, all this inherited from 8 years of Republican governance (and many of these results of “neglect” tracing back to the Reagan years)..what are you talking about? Thieving moneygrubbing Wall St. types or the bumbling benevolent government?…hmmm, that’s a tough choice.

This comment is right on the edge of being ad hominem in the sense that it is palpably emotional. If you want to argue for your own ideas, that’s great. If you want to punish other people for disagreeing with you, not so much.
In answer to your question, the crises you cite — and many you don’t — are the predictable consequences of the failure of a crime syndicate. For coming on 100 years, Americans have sought to live each at his neighbor’s expense. The desire for pandemic theft, coupled with the aversion to being the victim of pandemic theft, results in the catastrophic failure of economic systems that are properly motivated by rational self-interest. Though we express revulsion for that style of life, it is the recipients of multi-generational welfare who demonstrate the most perfect understanding of the welfare state. Everyone who actually works in our civilization is a sucker — myself included.
The solution to all of this is obvious: Stop stealing other peoples’ money. The question at hand is whether will we be smart enough to reach this conclusion without first (or, rather, again) living through a nightmare of tyranny, penury and universal starvation.
If any video should go viral, this one certainly should. The Night of the Living Dead analogy is priceless.
@ Ms. Luce: Thieving moneygrubbing Wall St. types or the bumbling benevolent government?…hmmm, that’s a tough choice. Easy decision for me. I’ll take the moneygrubbing Wall St. types (by which I assume we mean business men and women acting in their own self-interest and creating opportunity for everyone) over the progressive government’s benevolent desire to devour me before I can object to the planned failure of a planned economy.

Wow there’s a lot of koolaid being drunk up there. One thing for sure is not the answer to deficits–doubling, tripling and quadrupling those deficits.
Congress, quit stealing from my children and attacking my economic liberty. I opined at tea party on video by CNN: http://www.justnewlistings.com/dc-tea-party.html
