Taxation Without Representation
Some absolutely devastating videos from David Walker, the former Comptroller General of the United States and head of the Government Accountability Office from 1998 to 2008. He comes right out with the taxation without representation bit in the first clip. I seem to remember a little revolution around that phrase, don't you? It was a while back. You know Obama, McCain, Palin, and Biden wouldn't last 30 seconds in a debate with this dude. Not 30 seconds. But he's not debating the pols, though. He's trying to press for change using every available tool he can find. And, sadly, he recognizes that politicians need "cover" to make any serious movement in reforming the financial system of the United States. Cover. I'm going to keep an eye on this guy. He seems, oh I don't know, several billion times more credible than any leader I've seen messing things up the last two decades in Washington.
It amazes me at how the feds can just take billions and billions of tax payer dollars without batting an eye about it. Obama's actions have virtually destroyed the small business that we've worked hard over the years to build. The nerve to take money from hard working Americans and give it to the big banks and to those who are too lazy to get off their asses and get a job puts me beyond livid. The sad part is that we are helpless to stop him and his circle of fools.
