That is why we have to FORCE Government by ANY MEANS NECESSARY to comport to the Constitution to the VERY WORD, meaning, intent and SPIRIT of the day of which it was drafted. To hell with the spin conveyed by those who seek oppression and tyranny upon us, whether they be the Socialist Liberal “Loyalists” that live amongst us or the despots in both houses of Congress, that state that the apportionment clause is “absurd”. I think they are absurd and I have a very sharp pitchfork to prove my point to all of them. And I know how to get to capital hill!
When the time comes that they come to collect the additional taxes they will need to support Social Security and Medicare, that is somewhere between 70 - 90 Trillion Dollars in UNFUNDED LIABILITIES, over the infinite horizon, my pitchfork will be extremely well sharpened. And, I know they are coming soon. I know that with in just a very few years they are going to start to send notices to our employers to start taking more money out of our paychecks in “payroll” taxes to pay for the Banker Bailout bill/s, Social Security and Medicare. I will demand to my employer that he not take out any withholding tax because I need to feed my family, cloth my children and provide heat and light and be able to drive to work.
