@kagetoh Sorry, the peacetime progressive income tax began in 1917 AFTER a constitutional amendment (a progressive tax was unconstitutional). There was an income tax earlier - but that was only in effect during the Civil War. It was passed using the President's War Powers authority but most people think it was still unconstitutional.
awesome video! Just got back from afghanistan fighting for this country and im sick with what we re becoming. much more and it may come to this.

Love It, Your Point Well Taken, these Idiots think by slamming you that it's going to stop this, This is a Movement, you can't stop the truth from Prevailing, and these liberals who think they can post negative comments & that its going to stop this are only floundering in their own misery.
I love it. Exactly the reaction Jefferson, Madison, Washington, and Sam Adams would have if they could see us now. We're in worse trouble than they were.
Now before all you anti-Tea Party people start whining about 'creating atmospheres of violence' here's my word. SHUT UP. Your cohorts from the 1960s on hit the streets talking about 'fighting' or 'bringing down' or 'destroying' the system. You did. So don't get all whiney over a simple political ad.
It's called freedom of speech--and even people who don't worship obama can endulge in it.
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."
Hmm, so that'd be Barber there. Or George Washington, to be specific, >.>
And funny how he makes an ad on Abe saying the income tax is slavery, when Abe made the first income tax. Thank ye, Abe!
On "Hard Ball" with Chris Mathews, 6/30/2010, Barber was proven by Mathews to be the fraud he truly is. Thank GOD! Yes, I said God, you reactionaries.
Only in Alabama (or MIssissippi) could a redneck have imaginary conversations with dead Presidents and the voters actually take it seriously. I loved watching Chris Matthews smack that idiot Barber down. The Tea Party is Nucking Futs.
o.k.I don't agree with Barbers commercials but he has every right to run them.I also think both parties in power SUCK HAMMERED SHIT.Tea party is no better, they have nuts like Palin/Beck as supporters with their 9/12 shit. I just saw Barber on Hardball & Tweety Matthews was soooo fucking rude to the guy. Why do we have assholes like Matthews, Olbermann, Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck & every other fucking nut brainwashing our America. Fucking think for yourselves people.These fuckers are all crooked.
Wow. This is ridiculously misleading. But, why educate the uneducated when you can just stir up violence in name of getting votes.
Unfortunately, like every other politician, it's all smoke and mirrors. When (if) they get elected, they just find someone's pocket to crawl in and do nothing until it's time to get reelected.
Didn't President Washington approve the first tax levied by the federal government, which happened to be on whiskey? ... & When the whiskey tax met with resistance ("The Whiskey Rebellion"), didn't he send the army to enforce the tax and allow agents to collect the revenue from the distillers? This ad sound like it's endorsing a kind of revisionist history ...
Is this ad a joke? Do people actually believe the American Revolution started because of a tea tax? And he is running for congress???? Maybe you tea-baggers should read "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine. That pamphlet was said to be the catalyst of the American Revolution..but I'm betting you could get a large lesson just from the damn title... lol
@darwinkilledgod Then the government will retain it's constitutional mandate to defend its citizens against violence. If you think that it has lost its democratic justification for action then by all means act as you see fit, but understand that those who still support the government will support it as it prevents violence against it or citizens under it. If I agree that it has reached a point that it cannot be supported than I will join you knowing that it will and must act against me.
@UnGato7 I had a debate recently about what level of tyranny has to exist before one can morally use violence. Someone pointed out that as long as their are elections there's hope for the government. It was a good point I think; the problem is the public schools have erased America...no one learns about limited government anymore.
@darwinkilledgod I certainly learned about it in my school. I just decided that limited government is, in the sense that it is used now, not the right way to go. I know people who decided the other way.
The point at which you and your peers no longer choose who leads you is when it has gone too far. Or, if you are amongst those initiating the tyranny, the point at which you no longer must worry that you will *not* choose.
oh how nice it would be to have a couple of hundred guys with this courage in the house and senate.... FRESHMAN 50, YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. Make us proud!
He should have had a clip of Nancy Pelosi saying, "Are you serious?" in response to a question from a reporter asking where the Constitution gives her the ability to mandate that US citizens purchase health insurance. And replaced "gather your armies" with "load your rifles."
@darwinkilledgod He would be actively advocating violence at that point. That's the point at which free speech no longer protects you. He's nearly advocating violence now.
ha. the American sheep won't vote for Rick Barber. he is not a politician he is a working man, If you don't throw fancy words in and make absurd promises you just won't get votes. Obama leaves the United States weak, that means many profit from American mistakes. thank you American sheep. thank you
The great thing is we can gather our armies at the voting booth that is the heritage which we have received. When judges and leaders attempt to take that ability away they will have earned the hangings they will receive.
The excesses of government which we accept today would've provoked open rebellion in our forbears. The lies, the irresponsible spending, the encrouchment on liberty, the submission to our enemies, and the lifting up of hedonism would have not stood while Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin lived.

@TrashcanMan76 You mean the people voting it down are probably the ones who disagree with him, and are more likely on the other end of the political spectrum? BRILLIANT! Way to crack the conspiracy wide open, you goddamned idiot.
The Federal Income Tax is lie and a scam, there is no law saying that the avg. American ( you and I ) has to pay it. If you do pay it or have it stolen out of you paycheck do you know where it really goes?? It goes to the international banksters, not to pay for new roads, schools, repairs or anything like that.
Mr. Barber is the change we need. Look folks our governing system is not running nor listening to us. Let’s get some new blood in the halls of our American government and give them a chance. Look this guy pledged an oath to protect the US Constitution as an officer in the Marine Corps. How many of you have done this? If you have not then you just don’t understand us that have. Mr. Barber I am with you.
I was worried that Rick Barber did not approve of this message even though he starred in it - imagine my relief to be told that he did, in fact, approve this message.
The founding fathers revolted over a tea tax. But they also didn't let women vote, and some of them owned slaves. While they were way ahead of their time on a lot of issues, maybe we shouldn't view them as our moral gold standard for political decisions made today.
And what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. - Jefferson 1787 (the ambassador to France) And AFTER he said that we elected him President!
One assumes that the guys around the table represent the framers, so I'll just leave it at Jefferson's opinion: And what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. 1787
"And as it were a whisper in the distance, I heard it. It continued to grow in volume, a low-pitched whine at first, then a piercing howl. Eventually it become a deafening scream, and with it followed a thousand butthurt liberals losing their wits."
Look no further than the recent 'Health Care" bill. At the request of the IRS, it included a provision that requires all Corporations to submit 1099's to every entity to which they have paid more than $600 per year. These increasing burdensome costs for small business amount to another de facto tax increase initiated by the unelected IRS.
Time to turn off the TV people. Start doing some reading.
Yep, that's pretty clear. YOU said we're not both by saying that one of the two (two being a necessary component of the word "both") is not correct. Then again, a conservative blatantly lying about what they said previously is not the surprise I wish it were.
@DeathMagusScythe Sorry you are unable to grasp the concept. The IRS for your information interprets the tax code they can effectively RAISE your taxes ANYTIME they choose by changing how they interpret a code. Don't believe me ask a REAL CPA .
@lcast009 primarily because it is a campaign ad NOT a history lesson. If you are too stupid to make the connections & don't "get it" that does not mean that others have to be subjected to the same crap over & over.
@dhead22 Yes we believe in freedom, but we also respect others & their right not to have to tolerate vulgarity. Because some progressives can not control their language yes your comment has to be approved. Maybe if progressives would learn to discuss issues rather than sling insults &vulgarity it would not be necessary
Fantastic commercial! As a previous tax accountant now in health care I believe this commercial is spot on. It might be confusing to some to say that the IRS directly raises taxes. While the IRS does not write tax law they do interpret them, as with any law there are "grey areas" which are left up to the interpretation of the IRS and their court system.
As for the supreme court comment by buddha, I'm not sure what u r talking about. Who cares what Jefferson did in regard to the bible?
This is the the most powerful political ad that I've ever watched. It says so much in a small amount of time. Though I live across the US from him, he will get a campaign contribution from me. Good Luck in your run off election Rick!
The Progressives can't understand that their way of thinking fails miserably in modern times. Jimmy Carter what a mess. Bill Clinton Became a fiscal conservative after he raised taxes and the Dem's lost control of Congress. Now B.O. is walking down the same path as Carter. His Presidential Approval rating Gallup Poll has 45% Americans approve and 46% percent disapprove. Way to go Mr. President. You are impeaching yourself in 2 1/2 years with the voters.
Like the Clintons said when Kerry lost. " The reason he lost is that they we not liberal enough" Now the right need to be more conservative. Rick is just saying what a lot are thinking now that we have "liberal enough".
Having been involved in numerous campaigns on a high level, including Congressional races, I've always prided myself in creating interesting and catchy concepts for political tv ads....but this one tops it. Most everyone in this chat I can tell really doesn't understand the purpose of how a political ad is written. The candidate doesn't care if you like it or not, what he/she wants is for it to be "effective." The last line was carefully considered - and I think it creates the buzz intended.
I don't want to wake up one morning and wonder what the hell happened. If we don't take control of our futuer we will fall, as did Rome and all the other democracis who took freedom for granted. My family wrote the word freedom with their blood and I owe them everything.
Patbuddha, your fallacy is you think that by eliminating Christianity from the government you will have a separation of religion from the state. Separation by your erroneous view is impossible as all people bring prepositional views based on their FAITH assumptions to every issue of life. There are no facts floating around. As Vantil once said: "culture is religion externalized" Look at a culture and it will reflect the faith assumptions of that people.
@DeathMagusScythe obviously you have not been following national events. The IRS CAN RAISE TAXES-it is a pretty simple matter for them to do so,it can be done by how they choose to "interpret" one of the millions of regulations. While technically the IRS is not mandating healthcare-they are the ones that are going to be responsible for making sure Americans toe the socialistic line & buy healthcare. Maybe you should read the HC bill before you comment.
@ICAUCUSREGION6 I wish I was in the second district, Instead I seem to be stuck With Bobby Bright, while he has a fairly good voting record He is Not Proactive enough to suit me, but then He is a Newbie
@DeathMagusScythe I can tell you're one of the many who have not read the healthcare reform act. Stop running your mouth, read it, and maybe you'll learn that Barber is 100% correct, specifically on the powers given to the IRS. I know, I do legal work for the IRS.
@DeathMagusScythe WOW.. unfortunately there are so many people who just don't get it like yourself. Congress gives mandate to IRS and upto IRS to "enforce." IRS has its own regulation which it writes itself.
I happen to be a Tax Accountant and I'd say you are the idiot and just irritated about hearing the truth. See my comment above if you care to look at it from an intellectual standpoint, but something tells me you are incapable of this. Prove me wrong please.
Are you kidding me? How could anyone NOT like this video? Are you people sleeping on the toilette or what? I WANT America back NOW. MY AMERICA NOW! MY AMERICA NOW! MY AMERICA NOW!
George Washington was so against taxation that he sent a militia to suppress an uprising of some folks who didn't want to pay their whiskey taxes. When will these fools stop trying to revise history? Oh and Thomas Jefferson was a fundamentalist Christian who managed to get a church/state separation clause into the Constitution.
@patbuddha ah please tell me WHERE THE CHURCH/STATE SEPARATION CAUSE IS IN THE CONSTITUTION??????? Come on back it up if your going to post it prove it.
@ICAUCUSREGION6 Amendment #1: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." To say that this doesn't mean the same thing as "separation of church and state" is like saying a statue prohibiting the "intentional killing of another" is not not the same as murder because it doesn't use the actual word "murder".
@patbuddha gawd you make most liberals look brilliant & that is hard to do. Fact the founding fathers WERE not saying separation of church &state. What they were saying had to do with religious freedom, there was to be NO FORCED state religion like the Church of England. Had nothing to do with church & state. Why do you think that the President takes oath of office with Hand on Bible? That all sessions are opened with prayer? And so on...Your dead wrong like most libs..
These guys are clearly actors and not the real Founding Fathers.

The Federal Income Tax is lie and a scam, there is no law saying that the avg. American ( you and I ) has to pay it. If you do pay it or have it stolen out of you paycheck do you know where it really goes?? It goes to the international banksters, not to pay for new roads, schools, repairs or anything like that.

Mr. Barber is the change we need. Look folks our governing system is not running nor listening to us. Let’s get some new blood in the halls of our American government and give them a chance. Look this guy pledged an oath to protect the US Constitution as an officer in the Marine Corps. How many of you have done this? If you have not then you just don’t understand us that have. Mr. Barber I am with you.

The founding fathers revolted over a tea tax. But they also didn't let women vote, and some of them owned slaves. While they were way ahead of their time on a lot of issues, maybe we shouldn't view them as our moral gold standard for political decisions made today.

And what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. - Jefferson 1787 (the ambassador to France) And AFTER he said that we elected him President!

Look no further than the recent 'Health Care" bill. At the request of the IRS, it included a provision that requires all Corporations to submit 1099's to every entity to which they have paid more than $600 per year. These increasing burdensome costs for small business amount to another de facto tax increase initiated by the unelected IRS.

Fantastic commercial! As a previous tax accountant now in health care I believe this commercial is spot on. It might be confusing to some to say that the IRS directly raises taxes. While the IRS does not write tax law they do interpret them, as with any law there are "grey areas" which are left up to the interpretation of the IRS and their court system.
As for the supreme court comment by buddha, I'm not sure what u r talking about. Who cares what Jefferson did in regard to the bible?

The Progressives can't understand that their way of thinking fails miserably in modern times. Jimmy Carter what a mess. Bill Clinton Became a fiscal conservative after he raised taxes and the Dem's lost control of Congress. Now B.O. is walking down the same path as Carter. His Presidential Approval rating Gallup Poll has 45% Americans approve and 46% percent disapprove. Way to go Mr. President. You are impeaching yourself in 2 1/2 years with the voters.

Like the Clintons said when Kerry lost. " The reason he lost is that they we not liberal enough" Now the right need to be more conservative. Rick is just saying what a lot are thinking now that we have "liberal enough".

Having been involved in numerous campaigns on a high level, including Congressional races, I've always prided myself in creating interesting and catchy concepts for political tv ads....but this one tops it. Most everyone in this chat I can tell really doesn't understand the purpose of how a political ad is written. The candidate doesn't care if you like it or not, what he/she wants is for it to be "effective." The last line was carefully considered - and I think it creates the buzz intended.

Patbuddha, your fallacy is you think that by eliminating Christianity from the government you will have a separation of religion from the state. Separation by your erroneous view is impossible as all people bring prepositional views based on their FAITH assumptions to every issue of life. There are no facts floating around. As Vantil once said: "culture is religion externalized" Look at a culture and it will reflect the faith assumptions of that people.

@DeathMagusScythe obviously you have not been following national events. The IRS CAN RAISE TAXES-it is a pretty simple matter for them to do so,it can be done by how they choose to "interpret" one of the millions of regulations. While technically the IRS is not mandating healthcare-they are the ones that are going to be responsible for making sure Americans toe the socialistic line & buy healthcare. Maybe you should read the HC bill before you comment.

@ICAUCUSREGION6 Amendment #1: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." To say that this doesn't mean the same thing as "separation of church and state" is like saying a statue prohibiting the "intentional killing of another" is not not the same as murder because it doesn't use the actual word "murder".
patbuddha 1 year ago
@patbuddha gawd you make most liberals look brilliant & that is hard to do. Fact the founding fathers WERE not saying separation of church &state. What they were saying had to do with religious freedom, there was to be NO FORCED state religion like the Church of England. Had nothing to do with church & state. Why do you think that the President takes oath of office with Hand on Bible? That all sessions are opened with prayer? And so on...Your dead wrong like most libs..
