@Genome Project.It’s not so much the complaint of being taxed as it is that our wondrous government builds things like the bridge to no where. Or in the case where I live, blow a surplus of $13 million on undevelopable land then raise taxes because a $20 million dollar short fall. I don’t think its unreasonable to ask the our elected officials use some common sense when spending our tax money. However, I do believe it unrealistic for me to expect them to do so.
Interesting that people will go ballistic if a terrorist sets off a bomb in public, but let someone with a gun go on a rampage and we just yawn. Same stuff, different day.
the 4th amendment gave American citizens protection from the Feds snooping into our private medical files, our spending habits, our political views and our religious beliefs.-But the Obama Descending Into Totalitarianism regime is doing all of the above. DNA on file can be used to analyze our genetic possibilities including tendencies to crime.-God says we are all born sinners, and sinners break God’s Law and man’s laws.-The Feds are using personal info to indict whomever they choose. I hope it isn’t me or you.
