Evidently, Obama wants more intrusion into our financial records for the purpose of fighting

the war on terror(yeh, right). I know it's not like it really matters since they already do this,

but every time I see something else that they can do, it makes me angry.

Well hell, we all might as well start running around nekkid because there's no hiding your business anymore.

And imagine what will happen if they find something they think is not right? They will freeze the accounts until you prove your innocence. How easy will that be without any funds? And considering humans make mistakes their mistakes could ruin the lives of those who actually have worked their entire lives and planned for the future.

 

Something else to consider. As they are gathering financial information they might use it for other purposes. The democrats have already mentioned doing a one time tax on all bank accounts. And once they have all the account numbers it would be easy to do it electronically in the middle of the night. They could pass it during an "emergency" session without anyone reading it like ObamaCare.

I heard about that wealth tax garbage. Straight from France. At least Boehner is talking like the House won't pass any more taxes. Maybe

that mess Obama is doing has to have some legislation first. I hope so.

 

That's where we need to send these people.

European tax system is crazy. They inventory your belongings and you pay an annual tax on every single thing you own of value. That is why every year there is "garbage" day where you can find all kinds of nice stuff sitting on the curb for disposal.

 

There was even a proposal by the democrats to charge you tax on the income you would gain if you rented something you owned. If you owned a house that would rent for $1,000 a month then they wanted you to pay income tax on $12,000. And it wasn't just your house but automobiles, boats or anything of value.

Probably not the best analogy, but one I constantly think about.

There isn't a tax the Democrats don't like. And they love Europe. I just wish they would move there and leave us the hell alone.

We're already nekkid if we fly. :D TSA makes sure of that.

And, And, And the left is looking into using 401K accounts to "help" pay welfair.

Our founding fathers went to war over an effective tax rate of 6%.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

We should be doing similar to our forefathers.

The guv needs to see where everybody has their money stashed so they will be able to confiscate it once the entire financial system crashes and they no longer enough funds to operate.

 

It is funny that the phrase, "for the children" was once stated by the guv to justify egregious overreach of their authority.  Now, the phrases are "war on terror" and "for national security."

I want to view the governments finances! Especially the spy agencies.

After that, how about a look at Obozo and Moochelle's?
