That ship has sailed...

Since the income tax amendment was passed in 1913 nearly every president has expanded the size and scope of "Big Brother". Personally -- I'd like the federalize to provide for defense and leave everyone that is not a threat to the republic alone...


The income tax amendment created a royal class in this country, though, and that royalty will do anything to keep power. If it's jailing you and I, then so be it.
