The federal government is currently collecting over $500.00 per pay check bi weekly from me. If we calculate this amount times all of you, we have a serious problem in this nation. If I paid my debts the way our government is handling our national debt I would be sitting in jail. Should we allow the government to have more money? No, they cannot handle the money they get now.

The Internet is already monitored. Type in specific words and you are placed on a watch list, yours truly Former President Bush did this one. He admitted to monitoring our Internet usage, phones and cell phones. Our government has watched us in many ways over the years. And they have perfected how to manipulate everything around us to collect the maxim amount of tax revenues.

The Internet does have some businesses paying tax and charging tax. While I do not believe this is right or fair. I pay when I shop on the Internet just like I do when I go to the local mall. Some businesses hike prices so they can pay when the IRS comes calling. Most business owners may try to avoid showing profits. Many companies and individuals are making huge profits and fudging the books to fool the public and government.

Thousands perhaps millions would be highly offended and angered with more government involvement. The down side to any government involvement is they seem to make things worse not better. Unless it is Medicare or social security. And we see how they have borrowed against social security again and again without ever paying the system back. This is proof enough to me we do not need the government getting any more money. Or any more power. 

We all want to believe in freedom but sadly we are not truly free. If we continue to allow the government to take over, we will see every corner of our lives up for auction. Perhaps on Ebay one day we will see a couple for sale to recoup their debts. They will be sold as slaves for the very rich to use any way they please.

Or perhaps Face book becomes the new auction site for human trading. With all our faces plastered there so willingly. We never know what someone in government can decide is a good idea one day. Then they simply pass a new law we know nothing about until we see our faces on the national news most wanted list for tax evasion and debt.

Beware of what you wish for, you might just get it.
