Also, we can't depend on elections to rid people who want to tax us for anything and everything. Did you ever think that Obama may not be voted out of office? Who says Romney will win. We don't know that and with all the fraud it's likely Obama will get a 2nd term and then he can pull more of this unconstitutional tyranny onto us.
