$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('ReverseEngineer', 'T')he Federal Goobermint is left holding the bag here with the securities but no property, and then the Federal Goobermint goes out of business. The States then Reincorporate a new Holding Company called the USSA and take over all the old buildings of the old USA Goobermint located in their states by Emminent Domain. They issue a new Dollar themselves, cutting the Fed out of the loop. They no longer owe anything to anybody other then their own paper they sold on International Markets, all the old debt of the USA is wiped off the books when that corporation went Bankrupt and out of business.

Knowing some military people and how the government screws up their paperwork and taxes I'm betting that more then half the people listed don't really owe any more tax , and know it but just can't get the gobbermint rocket scientist to admit it or fix it. Unless you a sec. treasury type you get automatically withheld anyway so who's responsible if you got behind?

My boss at a former job scammed the IRS for over $100,000 in phony refunds one year.

He got caught the next year because he got greedy and tried to get an additional $300,000.

Where did I work?

The IRS.

I am not kidding.

Since government "workers" are paid by productive citizens taxes, why do they go through the rigmarole of "paying taxes" anyway? It would be more efficient for them to receive smaller salaries and not file.

Government workers are the hardest working people in this country. Get your facts straight. These people work in slave like conditions, with minimal rewards.....

In other news, thieving bankers are getting two hundred times this amount of your money. And that's just for starters. Torches and pitchforks, anyone

[heroineworshipper]

what are you going to do about it, you slaves? Now get back to voting for who you're supposed to vote for so we can raise those taxes.

On my son's "Donkey Ollie" dvd, the one episode has the bad guy calling the kids who have been kidnapped to work for the pharohs "slave zombies"... its funny stuff.

LA Times

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')n Assemblyman from San Francisco argues that it's time to tax and regulate the state's biggest cash crop in the same manner as alcohol. Opponents say it would create new costs for society.

...Buoyed by the widely held belief that cannabis is California's biggest cash crop, Assemblyman Tom Ammiano contends it is time to reap some state revenue from that harvest while putting a damper on drug use by teens, cutting police costs and even helping Mother Nature.

...Anti-drug groups are anything but amused by the idea of California collecting a windfall from the leafy herb that remains illegal under federal law....

You know, if I were in politics, a summer of mellowed-out gigglers surely sounds better than a summer of rock-throwing unemployed street protesters.

Also, while I kind of laugh at the "industrial hemp is the greatest plant product/foodstuff/floor wax of all time" people, I'm not opposed to a entrepreneurial fad around trying those claims, either.

Never smoked it. Not terribly likely to. But damned if I can see a reason for it to be more illegal than liquor or cigs.
