Better yet read the discussions during the founding period. There is a complete record of all the debate and discussion of intent and possible effect of every word. But Americans are the least knowlegeable of their history than any people in the workl.

And you can bet the farm that Congress will never relinquish an existing tax. More taxes coming in, more incentive to buy votes with tax money. NO VAT!

The Republic went to hell under Andrew Jackson (an early Democrat). Prior to that time to vote you had to inherit property and be intelligent enough to keep it going or be man enough to go into the wilderness with an axe and a rifle and create new property. Universal male sufferage gave the vote to people with no skin in the game and further expanding sufferage has only made the situation worse.

And the hills of Arkansas are strewn with unwed mothers getting all the "benefits" of the welfare state. Impregnated at 14-16 by some ridge runner who already has a couple of children drawing welfare and not married to their mother. With a harem of what blacks are now calling "baby mommies", they can live of the women's and childrens benefits. All Anglo Saxon white trash! This system destroys all.

Forty years ago an officer in the Pentagon has a sign over his desk, Dinosaur and Proud of It. Someone commented he should add : And Unemployable. It was true 40 years ago. The world moves on. You either gain skills and adapt or perish. It has ever been this way. I do think the mindless twitter and social networks will go by the wayside in the future. No one needs or wants to know about every pimple and disappointment. We are monitored too the n-teenth degree already. When the hundreds of acres of data storage buildings in AZ are completed, the government will be able to compile your dosier from credit cards, on line banking and business transactions, and every one of these electronic devices you use. Your life will be open to all

Canned food, ammunition, medical supplies and all the other daily neccessities will be the "money" in this country much sooner than most can believe.

Bravo Loadstar! The very definition of freedom is security to own property without interference by the government. The Socialist Parasite that lives off the government and depends on the government for everything except breathing (and after getting COPD, even breathing) never knows the pride of ownership or the wealth producing ability of assets. The foul the government provided housing, until it has to be destroyed.

Astounding as it sounds, recent studies in UK revealed tens of thousands of families, three generations in a home, and NOBODY had ever worked at a paying job! Living on the dole, Sounds like Uncle Sams Plantation that Obams is trying so despertly to expand.

I grew up in a "yellow dog" Democratic family in East Texas. I am no stranger to prejudice and bigotry. Remember the Democratis gave the US the Civil War and later the KKK, with that great Senator Byrd (D-VA who recently passed away) the one time Grand Dragon of the KKK. Today, sadly, the greatest bigots and most prejudiced people I meet and see in the media and news are knee jerk blacks wo are totally ignorant of history.

Twelve and thirteen year oold mothers emancipated and eligble for all the benefits of Uncle Sams Plantation. After breeding with a number of men over the years and living in the poverty they condemned themselves to. There is no support for the children. Baby sat by a TV while Momma get high and bred again before their very eyes. Whites in the South are just as guilty of this (in ever increasing numbers). Our society is disintegrating at a rapid rate.
