YouTube – Rep. Dennis Kucinich- The Bailout is Digging the US to China.
Dennis points out the elephant in the room, and does it in style. If he wasn’t a socialist, he’d be the Elvin version of Ron Paul.

The premise of the Picket Line, as near as I can tell, is to avoid paying taxes by means of reducing income below taxation levels. From the following entry, The Picket Line — 14 September 2008,
Tucker suggests that the government, via the Fed, is essentially just powering up the printing presses — or, at least, implicitly keeping this option in reserve. Should push come to shove, the government will pay its debt by devaluing it (and everyone else’s dollars) to a manageable level. Or something like that. I dunno. When I hear libertarian types go on about the gold standard and the Fed and sound money and so forth my eyes glaze over and I get the same sort of feeling I get when I hear Kennedy assassination conspiracy theorists — maybe they’re right, but they sound a little batty, and I’ve got other things to do than educate myself enough about the issue to evaluate the arguments intelligently.
Jeffrey Tucker is not suggesting. He is pointing out the truth, the post author admits he is uneducated upon and can’t be bothered to educate himself.
I’m not sure why he bothered posting, except that JT is correct, and reducing your tax obligation through lifestyle changes, won’t in any way meaningfully limit or undermine the state. Through inflation of the monetary supply, those people who are not paying tax, will be paying tax through reduced purchasing power.
The failure to understand these simple things can lead people in bizarre and ineffective directions. Don’t be lazy, understand money. Making jokes about sound money is lame.
The economy is going to hell in a hand basket. There are a lot of people who are totally ignorant and now exposing themselves, because the economy is increasingly becoming an important part of everyone’s life, and their irrational ideas and malformed opinions don’t hold up to the slightest rational scrutiny.
Now is the time. Not tomorrow, not next week, not after the US or Canadian elections. You have to help educate these people where possible. Some will argue. Forget about them. Move on to the next person. Close-minded people who won’t acknowledge their own failures of logic or lack of knowledge will eat up all of your time and provide little or no reward.
Now is the time to talk to your family, talk to your neighbors. Email around some quality YouTubes. Write a letter, make a phone call.
Later, it might be said we didn’t do enough. So please don’t be lazy and do nothing.
More on this later today.
These people are totally loathsome and disgusting. These arrogant fools are going to drag the entire world kicking and screaming into a global depression. They are going to condemn people to starvation and violence.
I am so totally sick of politicians and the sheeple who vote for them. I wish when it came time to pay the bills, it was people who voted for it who would have to suffer the consequences. But instead, everyone in the world is going to be made poorer now.
Mad enough to spit. Dry mouth be damned.
