The Fed doesn't have money. It makes you buy what it wants by making you pay taxes to pay for it. Not to mention the whole 'you are the government' concept.
Like no-bid contracts and thousand-dollar toilet seats that you either pay for or get go to prison for not paying your taxes?
The only difference is the procedure.
I believe I said Proper Functions of Government.
You won't find me defending Cronyism in any form. Your attacks on Blackwater type no bids and Alaskan bridge style earmarks while at the same time using them as a pretext for Even More Abuses is pretty typical of Progressive Politics.
So taxation is ok as long as the powers that be spend them correctly?
Who decides what's correct? If the People vote for a project and I don't agree, am I not still being forced to buy something I don't want?
We're back to square one.
