--- Quote from: Bisjac on October 27, 2009, 12:09:29 AM ---the current US tax code is a huge scam lol. like i would say about 90% of it is pages of special interest crap to benefit specific companies or industries. --- End quote --- Yeah this is an issue too, as if the Bush administration wasn't spewing enough hints of this stuff happening. It's problematic when the average man can't even trust his own loving governing body. I can foresee a case of "The peasants are revolting!" quite litterally in the near future, then everyone who isn't dead or a dumbforget will move to Canada, and the rich people will move to their nice multi-billion dollar castles in Dubai or try to annex Alberta next since there's oil sands there (and another dumbass to take advantage of, Harper). It'll probably take a few nuclear "accidents" before all that happens though. |

That is simply a donation drive. --- End quote --- America had its own fully functioning national government before the Americans even decided to declare a revolution. That's what the First Continental Congress was; America's first national government. |
