#3 The Age Old Question.

What do you OWN that can't be Taxed and/or Government can't take away?

Government has gotten too big for its breeches .
It now has its citizens answering to it, instead of it answering to its citizens.

Despite levying an average of about 41% in overall Federal and various DC hidden taxes. Which have resulted, so far this year, in the collection of over $4.6 Trillion + in revenues. It still can't live within collected revenues (a balanced budget) and has already overspent $1.78 Trillion this year

#4 /\ With a few exceptions it would appear, the ruling class pretty much thinks the way Barry thinks:

"You didn't build that" is a phrase from a 2012 election campaign speech delivered by United States President Barack Obama on July 13, 2012, in Roanoke, Virginia. In the speech, Obama said: "Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business, you didn't build that."

~ Obama
