#1 Today, the U.S. ranks next to last among the 28 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development nations in total federal revenue as a share of GDP.

Love the way these guys always ignore state and local taxes when comparing to other countries.

#3 When you pay over 50% of your income on federal, state, and local taxes, fees, and levies, you exist to serve the state. Nice how the Donks finally got a work around on the 13th Amendment they unsuccessfully opposed in the first place. In the past the serf was tied to the land because the land was the source of income for the lord. Now they allow the serfs to move around, but still keep the income generated for the ruling class to use as they see fit.

Not as long as I have a short rope, a long drop, and a good foot to assist the maneuver, it ain't. It's gettin' closer and closer to time for pitchforks and shotguns. It's well past time Congress learned once again they are our servants, not our masters.
