Truth! Logically, the tax code could be simplified by moving to a flat-rate tax and erasing all of the hand-outs (I mean deductions) and that would solve any accountant shortage. But instead, the Leftist model is to hire 87,000 more IRS agents......
A thought I was mulling the other day <context - how do we solve this without resorting to violent revolution or civil war>......organized civil disobedience?....Could we (many/most) stay home <and for how long> and all file unemployment claims? Not saying this is the answer, but we are moving to something like this....hopefully before needing to take more....persuasive action.
That so many Americans still fail to see how distorted their acting government has become from what their Constitution affords is proof that those who corral humans into pens for a living have done their jobs exceptionally well. Like too many generations before them, Americans have allowed themselves to be rounded up with a little prodding, some tasty carrots, and reassuring words along the way. Too many look at the barbed wire surrounding them and assume that life must always be endured behind the government's enclosure. Obedience in exchange for the government's promises of safety, welfare, and happiness has created a narcotic bliss.
What happens, though, if enough Americans decide they are not safe, comfortable, or happy? What happens when the American government runs out of carrots, and those in cages realize they are surrounded by nothing but filth and decay? Perhaps then ordinary people will realize what extraordinary power they actually possess. Perhaps then sleeping Americans will reawaken. Perhaps the descendants of those who once turned the world upside-down will remember how to reject government tyranny and demand a return to the American way.
