Tax Bomb

Has the government ever done anything efficiently? If I went to court to file bankruptcy and told the Judge that I was just trying to spend my way out of debt do you think I'd get off without owing anything?

Here's one point of view on President Spendorama.

Since our politicians can crap out numbers that work to their advantage here's a few from the last election:

"Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out facts of 2008 Presidential election:

Number of States won by:
Democrats: 19
Republicans: 29

Square miles of land won by:
Democrats: 580,000
Republicans: 2,427,000

Population of counties won by:
Democrats: 127 million
Republicans: 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Democrats: 13.2
Republicans: 2.1

Professor Olson adds:
“In aggregate, the map of the territory won by Republicans was mostly the land owned by the hard working, law abiding, taxpaying citizens of the country.."
