The Most Important Website For The US

[brandondrury]

This is the single most important website for any citizen of the United States.















This website has nothing to do with your political views unless you choose to distort it into that.















This website simply chooses to take a look at how are tax dollars are spent and what effect that has on our economy.




If your taxes were cut by 33%, what would you buy?

How about Superior Drummer 2.0?

What about a Royer R121 ribbon microphone?

Maybe you'd just buy braces for your kid or plan for early retirement.

The national expense account is a fast moving target. A few hundred billion here and there doesn't sound like much, but it adds up.

This is what Eisenhower warned about.

Hmmm... I'm liking the site. The government? Less and less and I haven't been fond of them at all for a loooong time anyhow.

They print money to replace the worn out bills. They print a lot more than that. Who do they give it to. Don't know.
If you don't like the Federal Reserve don't vote for them. (wink)

Very good .Tom. I've read quite a bit about Eisenhower. His farewell address hit the nail on the head. He appears to be the last president to "get it".

I'm liking the site.

Yeah, me too. They are in favor of social programs. Generally speaking, I'm not huge on government intervention of those either, but I like the idea of knowing where my money is going. The idea of riding the government's ass about how they spend our cash is a great thing.

Once we get the federal government to quit pissing it away on wars that no one seems to want or benefit from, then maybe we can get into a fight about social programs.

It doesn't have to be cash. It's also done by simply transferring funds within the banking system. The money goes toward anything the government buys.

These people have good intentions I'm sure, but kinda dimwitted.

Why don't we just all pull together and bully up for NO federal income taxes?

Lump

[Vulconizer]

Good question, Lump. Why don't we?

Because the politicians use the whole two-party system against us.

I'm supposed to hate Democrats and they are supposed to hate me so that there is no way in hell we can work together to fight against the ones who hate all of us: the politicians.

Let's see, the alternative to politicians would be...

generals, kings, warlords...



I'll stick with the politicians.

I might live over the sea but to me it's the same thing these days isn't it?
