Government debt $11.9 trillion? No, it’s the debt of the citizens. It’s government’s scheme to take all you have or are working for, one step at a time. When government spends money that does not exist and passes the bill onto the citizen this is slavery with a pretty face. There is plenty of money for warring against the enemies of Israel in the name of “security” when Israel has more nuclear warfare than any nation.
The Anderson City Council, ordinance 22-09, recently reneging on its contract for trash pickup, has passed the bill onto the citizens. It is now a dictated utility to which you will pay and have no right to unsubscribe. My call to City Attorney Tim Lanane went unanswered.
More bureaucratic oppression as well as soaring inflation and taxes will not be a concern of the elected who serve themselves. Any government who can impose authoritarianism on its citizens will rule without dissent.
All taxes start with pennies: Sales tax, Social Security tax (now underfunded by $17.5 billion), income tax, inflation tax and at least a million other taxes.

Letter: Consumer-driven economy will pay off debt
To save America some money — by acclimation of course — let’s not have a presidential election in 2012. We already have a good president who will do his best to kill all Republican bills (DOA) and, consequently, create more good-paying jobs in the $30 per hour range.

Letter: Gingrich cashes in on political amnesia
Rasmussen says that Romney has flattened nationally. Why?
Two reasons seem to tell the tale. Gingrich has shown that he will fight, and Romney is a Mormon, believed to be a “cult” by a majority of evangelicals. -
Letter: Hiring Winkler not wise spending
As a taxpayer I want to know that my taxes are being spent wisely. Hiring Greg Winkler at a salary of $126,000 is not wise spending.

Letter: Bill of Rights being nullified by new law
President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act on New Year’s Eve. I doubt many Americans noticed its implications because they do not yet comprehend the big picture. This law, coupled with the Patriot Act, is paving the way for America’s direction toward tyranny.
