Geez. I wish.

First sentence about the five pages actually had me going for a fraction of a second.

If the Founding Fathers could see the morass of wealth redistribution and massive control over the citizen that the Federal Government has become, they would have to be taken away in padded vans. I can only imagine what the response would have been at the Constitutional convention had someone slipped a 35 percent tax on income across the table as a proposal. They threw tea in the harbor for a tax of two pence on the pound.

Does anyone else find it funny that people who march to protest even minor government controls over civil issues seem to have no problems with near-absolute government power over the economic sphere?
