		<description>The media gave us McCain in &#039;08 and now they&#039;re saying Romney is the only candidate that can beat Obama in &#039;12. Nuff said. 

I&#039;ve heard several suggestions concerning who has the right to vote in this country. The best one I&#039;ve heard so far goes something like this; paraphrasing here: &quot; If you don&#039;t pay federal income taxes, you don&#039;t have the right to vote.&quot;

I like that idea, but it doesn&#039;t have any better chance of existence than a $3 bill. Latest figures I&#039;ve heard concerning the percentage of tax payers in the USA state that 40 to 48% of voting age citizens pay absolutely no Federal income tax. Pick the figure that best suits your point of view. Barry goes off half-cocked saying the top 1% don&#039;t pay enough and how that just isn&#039;t fair. Well Barry, what&#039;s so damned fair about 40% of the population paying absolutely no taxes at all??? 

Once that figure of non tax payers rises above 50%, the United States of America as we&#039;ve known it will cease to exist. And that&#039;s whats frustrating Pete and millions of other Americans such as I. The USA is slowly becoming a nation in which a majority of her citizens will have an entitlement mentality. 

The Federal Government has already enslaved up to 40% of it&#039;s citizens by ensuring they remain dependent upon the many subsidies offered. Earn too much money or show too much personal responsibility and you&#039;ll lose your benefits. Oooooh, I don&#039;t want to take a risk. I&#039;ll remain a slave to the Federal Government and do what they tell me to do. In a nutshell, that right there is what scares the bejesus out of D.C. about Gingrich. He won&#039;t cotton to anybody in D.C. and they just can&#039;t have that now can they?

Docility and co-dependence are the fads of these times. Lord help you if you&#039;re independent, creative and honest nowadays. Somehow, honesty, belief in a Creator and hard work have become looked down upon. 

Screw PC, I&#039;m finding an original Don&#039;t Tread on Me banner from the 13 colonies and a Stars and Bars flag and putting both of them on my bike. Well maybe not the Stars and Bars all the time. Anybody know where I can find a Don&#039;t Tread on Me banner with the snake? Cuz as far as I&#039;m concerned, Washington D.C. has replaced ol George III as the culprit of Taxation without Representation.

Rant? You bet. But I&#039;ve had about as much as I can stand of the absurdity coming out of Washington D.C. nowadays. From both sides of the political aisle, Republican and Democrat. Heard a figure today that our national debt is now 102% of our GDP. Greece II anyone?
