The Federal Government Is Exploiting Public Fear

Democracy Is Not Freedom. Democracy Is Two Wolves And A Lamb Voting On What To Eat For Lunch. Freedom Comes From The Recognition Of Certain Rights Which May Not Be Taken, Not Even By A 99% Vote. Those Rights Are Spelled Out In The Bill Of Rights And In Our California Constitution. Voters And Politicians Alike Would Do Well To Take A Look At The Rights We Each Hold, Which Must Never Be Chipped Away By The Whim Of The Majority.

However Accurate Or Inaccurate The Agency's Numbers May Be, Tax Law Explicitly Presumes That The Irs Is Always Right -- And Implicitly Presumes That The Taxpayer Is Always Wrong -- In Any Dispute With The Government. In Many Cases, The Irs Introduces No Evidence Whatsoever Of Its Charges; It Merely Asserts That A Taxpayer Had A Certain Amount Of Unreported Income And Therefore Owes A Proportionate Amount In Taxes, Plus Interest And Penalties.

If So Many Americans Are Looking For The Government To Save Them, Then It Is Hard To Have A Dignified Search For A Shepherd In Chief.

Liberty Is A Political Firewall That Limits The Damage Government Can Do To The Individual.

There Is No Safe Political Refuge For Those Afraid To Take Responsibility For Their Own Lives.
