Being not free is being broken, always hungry and denied, and to be unsure of your personal reality. To be enslaved is its opposite. To be free is to be given liberty. The belief of secession is the belief of racists and anarchists. Are you either? You must be to argue for it. For the union, for my country united by the principles of democracy and choice, freedom from want and compassion for all. I love true freedom and I'm bound by that love to forgive your ignorance as we are free in America

Earn and greed are two different things. When one makes billions at the expense of others for nothing more to have excess that's greed. I have enough to help my family, and feed them having 10x that is neither necessary nor wanted by my family. See the difference is need and want. Liberty and freedom are by definition the same. Clearly you don't know that. Saying Freedom means little if you don't know what it is. I know freedom and its value. You don't know freedom, and that's what's sad...

fact is...all the government spending we have done over the past 10 years...100% taxation on EVERY individual wouldnt cover it...
This Country was founded on Property Rights and Individual Sovereignty, not Taxes and redistribution of wealth...
America was ONCE a great nation (pre-civil war)...since Lincoln, it has been on a path of distruction only to be taken over and ruined by progrssive, redistributors as yourself
how is the estate tax just, how is progressive taxation just? explain.

And, since when is keeping what YOU earn considered GREED?
This is the mentality of a socialist that feels "to each according to their needs"...again, as i said before, you will not find this ideology and the words Freedom, Liberty nor Posterity anywhere together.
Thanks for being one of the freedom haters who has pigeon-holed this Country to a point of possibly no return...
future secession in inevitbale...and for one, i have my fingers crossed.

You summed it up with the first three words..."Its Government spending"
put a period there...
this is the cause of the problems we have today.
Government wants to spend and spend, but we have limited resources...so, it devises a way to spend more than the resources (Federal Reserve - fraction reserve banking)...then to pay the debt, print MORE money...the people will not notice this a TAX as it is indirect and doesnt appear until the money is in the market, 8-12 months later.
-
Borrowing money...do you know why the "government can operate in debt" is part of the Constitution?
Not to supply the government with continuous debt as we see today...but, to supply the government with the necessary time needed to accumulate the cost over the previous year and to send a bill to each individual state proportionate to the populous...
You are obviously a Statist with no appreciation for Freedom and Liberty; this doesn't belong in America...this has ruined America.

Its government spending without proper taxation. We for the last 25 years have kept lowering taxes and adding to deficit. It was Cheney who once said, "Deficits don't matter" No the people caused the problem we all fell into the idea of greed is good. We need to be stewards of government and make sure society is run well by maintaining it. Government is not the problem its the conservatives who don't believe in it and wish to "starve the beast."

Actually that was wrong we had slavery and we were raping and stealing land from the Indians to fund our national adventures. You clearly have no knowledge of history. Unless you want us to force all the blacks into slavery and exterminate the last of the Indians. The treasury needs to be funded by the people through tariffs, conquest, taxation, tribute, borrowing money. Since we cant conquer anymore people and it would be wrong to demand tribute its tariffs, taxes and borrowing to get money
-
the recession has nothing to do with what you claim as "low taxes"...the recession is from government spending to a point where the value of the dollar bill in your pocket cannot buy a flippin candy bar...then, the government taxing the corporations (2nd largest in the world to Japan) to a point where they cannot afford to pay their employees what they would like to pay them...higher taxes fail.
why would you want to "rebuild the government"? the government caused EVERY problem we have.
-
wrong...when taxes were near nil we had the best Country in the nation...pre-Civil War.
So FUCKING tired of corruption...
