I fail to understand what, exactly, entitles government to keep ripping hunks of money out of my ass. It isn't enough that the crooked fuckers are bleeding us dry with wars, energy prices and every other goddamn thing they can think of to channel money out of our pockets into the pockets of their political cronies. Ptui!

Anyone else ever feel like we're rapidly moving in oligarchical times? A new serfdom is ours.

When I become King, at least you'll know where your money is going.... and the tip mug would be full on the first of every month.

Dude, when the Dems get the White House this fall, you ain't seen nothing yet.

The only difference between the Dems and the Repubs is whose pockets the cash gets directed to. Either way, we're bled dry.
