There will be few new taxes because that would impact those that have not saved money. The printing of money allows the government to spend money on programs they deem necessary while also driving up inflation. This inflation decreases the value of dollars the prudent have already squirrelled away. The government is well aware that you can't get something for nothing. Money doesn't grow on a printing press - it grows out of your savings.

Surely you have already witnessed the audacity with which the Obama Administration "crams down" legislation that the rest of us haven't had a chance to even read! As well, they would not hesitate to rummage through OUR VERY OWN SAVINGS ACCOUNTS to get what THEY think is theirs already. Whether you've remitted it to them "officially" or not! Make no mistake. You are on the right course, about withholding money, that they intend to use against you in the end anyway. The cold hard truth is that We the PEOPLE will continue to suffer at the hands of our own Government as long as We the PEOPLE continue to fund it! Just don't pay your taxes and let them "officially TAKE" it illegally, so that you have retribution at your eventual disposal! Insurrection is inevitable when tyranny is forced upon an armed society. Tyranny is inevitible when only the RULER is armed! Remember the 2nd Amendment gives footing to all other rights,so... keep your footing and stand the ground YOU WALK! Walk the HIGHER GROUND!!

And finally special ed will have the funding it needs to be a successful program for children in need. Next up, a Health Care system overhaul! My great State of Texas due in part to the low tax/small gov.model has also neglected that bread and butter issue as well. Only 80% of the population is covered. Finally the ball has started to bounce for the less fortunate! It is precisley this attitude that is the foudation of Tytler's prediction for the end of denmocracy. Once the majority realizes that by voting for people that will give them handouts the country is doomed. The minority cannot support the majority for long.

It can work when dealing with a lousy landlord. If we have the money set aside they can't prove we don't intend to pay. We are just witholding payment until they start doing the job as written in the Constitution. I'm not a lawyer I have a soul so I'm not sure of the legal wording but there has to be a way to challenge these despots in court.

The government forced them to take it. While this mess began with the Community Reinvestment Act of 1978 and while good old-fashioned greed may have contributed, never lose sight of the real criminals in this debacle---U.S. representatives and Senators who protected Fannie and Freddie for their millions in pay-offs. If an honest investigation occurred, we the people would discover corruption on a scale to make Enron execs look juvenile in their crimes. But many of these banks did NOT want the TARP money.
