PERHAPS THIS GUY IS ON TO SOMETHING, YOU THINK? (ISSUE 297)

This has been around before but it should be kept alive as the content is still the same.
it should be read again and again until the problem is resolved.

However, it won’t be resolved until we get off our ideological knees and stand for what is right.

The demagogues won power on the promise of “hope and change” without revealing any details.
They are delivering “change” by the boatload now and “hope” is being lost in the wake.

This is a time of mass turmoil. The facts are written on the walls. Yet, the masses don’t see it, or choose to ignore it in blind adoration of their new Messiah.

Buckle Down Winsocki, Buckle Down – You Can Win Winsocki if You Only Buckle Down (Issue 188)

How Can A Frog Stop Bumping Its Butt? (Issue 91)

How can a frog stop bumping its butt? Quite simply . . . by sprouting some wings.
 
After about six months of blogging and nearly 90 lengthy articles, I now have some questions coming in . . . something I have looked forward to. Curiosity is a sign of intelligence and asking questions is an indicator of that. One of my favorite ways to learn is the socratic method of inquiry.
 
The first question was, “when did we start paying taxes?”

We began paying taxes when the land was colonized.There have always been taxes. George Washington killed a bunch of people by putting down the Whiskey Rebellion, which was over liquor taxes. Income tax, as we know it, was popularized after the 1913 passage of the 16th amendment. Until then, no one could get a progressive-scale income tax to hold up. It was a society that operated on voluntarism for a period.
