Obama isn't the first & won't be the last to use the power of the IRS to harass & attack political opponents. Which is why we need to get rid of both this agency & the Income Tax altogether. Why should we have to spend so much time & effort (& often pay others to fill out the forms) to pay our taxes? Why should the government have so much information on how we make & spend our money? Eliminate the IRS & replace the Income Tax with the Fair Tax.

The problem with the TEA PARTY is: 1. It tends to support RINOs in a desperate attempt to avoid Democrats from getting elected 2. Even supposed TEA PARTY favorites (like Marco Rubio) soon morph into big government loving RINOs once in office, putting personal ambitions over the good of the nation. But at this point, all the talk is merely academic as our nation is probably locked into financial, political, moral & economic collapse. The God of the Bible could turn things around for us, but not when more of us continue to turn our back on Him. It is the fool who has said in his heart, there is no God.

With the exploding growth of big government in the USA, we are on the same path as Greece.

"Americans Fighting Their Own Government For Economic Survival" -That just about sums it up!! -Once upon a time, America was a land of hard work & opportunities with little government interference, dependence & taxation. America was the economic miracle of the world & the standard of living was always going up & we were the most charitable nation on Earth. Around the turn of the last century big government ("Statists", "Progressives") politicians eventually took over both major Parties & in about 100years have led us to the brink of monetary & economic collapse, loss of most of our Constitutionally guaranteed rights, with an information-poor voter base full of government dependent people. Sad to see.

Yep, both Schiff above & Pistol below are correct. Things are not getting better in the USA. As long as we have unsound money (a debt-based, paper money Ponzi scheme run by corrupt Central Bankers) & an out-of-control big government that taxes, spends, & tries to centrally plan/regulate us into oblivion... things will not get better. The Free Market in the USA is dead & the low information US voters keep re-electing the same jerks back into power. But I would fault BOTH the big government loving, Constitution trashing Rs as well as the Ds... just 2 sides of the same rotten coin.

Moving from high tax states to low tax states can be helpful, but those states will also have to begin to start nullifying Federal laws they feel are Unconstitutional. Expatriation from the USA is surely worth it for anyone working overseas already, so as to avoid double taxation & the reach of the out-of-control IRS. The biggest factor might be a sudden collapse of the world's reserve US paper Dollar & the world-wide havoc that would ensue. Can a slow collapse of the US paper Dollar be managed & the havoc avoided? I doubt it. Think about all the hundreds of trillions in toxic "derivatives" floating around the world priced in US paper Dollar contracts. Sounds to me like a ticking economic & financial time-bomb ready to explode.

It now looks increasingly likely that it will be the paper Euro that collapses before the US paper Dollar & that there will be some sort of political disintegration of the Euro zone. Government backed pensions, welfare payments, unemployment payments & everything else big government made promises on in Spain will have to be broken & re-negotiated. Get rid of minimum wage laws, government red tape, regulations, Central Bank control of interest rates & the money supply, cut/simplify taxes (& make sure all businesses are on a level economic playing field) so that the "Invisible Hand of the Free Market" can once again work its magic. End the big government, central economic planning with failed Keynesian economics.

Wake up & face reality. Romney was another big government loving, Constitution trashing politician who would also not have balanced the budget, returned to sound money, ended the corrupt Federal Reserve, stopped undeclared foreign wars, reigned in the out-of-control & too-big-to-fail banks. He was a "crony capitalist" & would not have returned us to a level playing field & truly free market capitalistic system. He would not have ended the IRS & returned to a much fairer & simpler tax system. Romney would have simply been better than Obama, which is not saying much. The author of RomneyCare was never the answer to the author of ObamaCare.

The lesser of 2 evils is still evil. Time to vote for some actually really needed good for a change. Yes, there is no perfect... but saying it's OK to vote for a big government loving, Constitution trashing, budget busting RINO is no longer an option for me. Sorry.

Buy gold, silver, food, some guns & ammo (when available). If you can afford it & can work the land (or lease it out to someone that can work it) to pay the taxes, buy good farmland. Non-agricultural business in the USA has been crippled with taxes, regulations and a combination of an unstable banking system, manipulated Stock & Commodity Markets plus a collapsing paper US Dollar.

I wouldn't call giving flawed Sanford a win being something good for the Republicans. The fact that Sanford was supposedly the best the GOP could come up with shows how rotten the GOP has become & can't be trusted. We desperately need a viable 3rd Party alternative to the duopoly of corrupt Ds & Rs.
