Taxation without Representation

[Bravo411]

Isn't that what started the first American Revolution against the British? Given that politicians and elected official give tax breaks to the wealthiest citizens and corporations while increasing the tax burden on the rest of the people and not acting in the interest of these people, it seams to me like the American people are again faced with the same situation that led them to revolt against the established government at the time.

2. Thanks

I haven't been posting much lately. Given the amount of corruption presented by this administration, it's become a bit overwhelming for one person to deal with all of it.

Maybe I'll start looking for contributers to post to the blog as well.

4. Interesting site ....

I feel as well that government has not only gotten to big, but has become a separate entity in this country. People forget the the President of the Unite States is nothing more than a civil servant. That's the way it was suppose to be. Sadly the majority of the people in this country have forgotten that fact. They look at him as a leader when in fact it is the people who should be leading and it's his job to make sure that the government abides by the will of the people and not just some of the people as well as corporations that give them money.

5. Yes, you're right. "Of the people, by the people, for the people...

WITHOUT the people" isn't how it was intended to function.
