WINSTON CHURCHILL
"Germany's unforgivable crime before the second world war," Churchill said," was her attempt to extricate her economic power from the world's trading system and to create her own exchange mechanism which would deny world finance its opportunity to profit." (Churchill to Lord Robert Boothby, quoted in the Foreword, 2nd Ed. Sydney Rogerson, 'Propaganda in the Next War' 2001, orig. 1938.)

I'm all for eliminating federal taxes, but making renters and outright owners subsidize the heavily mortgaged McMansions of others isn't exactly fair.
Not to mention the skewing which causes homes to get bigger and Bigger and BIGGER... pricing them even further from the reach of average people who desire to live responsibly within their means.
If anything, the deduction makes people more dependent on government, not less.

The US has had higher income taxes in the past, without stoping economic growth. In fact GDP growth from 150-1980 was about 1% greater than growth from 1980-now, yet the income tax rates were higher, particularly the top rates (of 50, 70 and even 90%) - go figure.

dude, you are welcome at my future bunker any time man. i'm in the process of making one, for real. the meek shall inherit this earth. stay free, stay independent but leave your hearts and minds open to interdependency on each other, minus the state.

Our only hope is to vote Republican across the board. If the GOP regains control of both houses, they can put a stop to Obama's madness by simply not funding any of his hairbrained schemes -- like health care. Obama will veto anything the GOP sends him and they won't have the power to override, but they do have the power to just not fund particular bills. But first, YOU must make it your business to vote for NO Democrats.

@THINKfutureShow Hopefully nobody voted for Obama. Howdja like to go to your grave knowing you voted for somebody who had no qualifications and subsequently wrecked your country?

Each successive administration expands the power of an ignorant and violent minority to dictate policies that promote wide spread poverty incarceration and war in the name of Jesus. These people preach small government but meanwhile they promote a $1.3 trillion military budget for the annihilation of Muslims in the middle east. Small government is fundamentalist/KKK speak for white minority rule in America. I notice none of these crackers thought to emigrate to South Africa

@modulisticterror He wasn't? How do you explain the new deal and Social Security?

If FDR was a socialist then I'm a black midget. your an ignorant reactionary repugnicant nutbar.
Each successive administration expands the power of the fed govt.. Why make this distinction between Obama and the rest.? Did Bush not expand government? Katrina - if a national disaster isn't something the fed government (and my tax dollars) should be invoved in what is? Was it Louisiana's problem? Maybe 20% (or whatever state taxes take vs federal) of it was. You want to blame someone, blame Lincoln - whom I'm sure you admire as one of our greatest leaders.

I agree with you. Unfortunately, this administration is expanding much faster than all of the rest. Once we have socialized medicine, I believe there is no going back.

Okay, back to talking about the video. In regards to a Federal Sales Tax, I have heard about the Fair Tax being proposed. If this passed, then that one dreaded day in April would be just another day. Why? No IRS. I would like to keep 100% of my paycheck. Texas and Florida citizens don't have to file returns for their state taxes. Don't just take my word for it. Do your own research. Two books and millions of dollars of research about the Fair Tax have been written and compiled.

Brian Mulroney, Canadian PM who brought in the GST told us that it would be a temporary measure in order to reduce the deficit, and with the added income, he would actually be able to reduce the income tax across the board. However, like most politicians he lied. He used the money to build new infrastructure instead of paying down the deficit, and opened new government offices and hired new government employees to manage the collection and refunds of this new tax. And income taxes did not drop.
