"free" lunch or liberty?

Yep, the beginning of confiscation was the beginning of huge government.  The more you let them tax, the more power they take, and the more power they take, the more they tax.    

The only thing that can stop the cycle is probably armed revolt or a well-placed nuke.

Best Line By A Politician's Speechwriter Lately:

"If you send it, they will spend it."
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!
