THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX:  PUNITIVE & REGRESSIVE -- PUNISHES SAVINGS -- DISCOURAGES INVESTMENT -- TAXES THE PROCEEDS OF LABOR -- DETERS ECONOMIC GROWTH -- PROVIDES INCENTIVES FOR CORPORATIONS TO OUTSOURCE THEIR LABOR OVERSEAS OR MOVE OUT OF THE COUNTRY TO AVOID EXORBITANT TAXATION & EXCESSIVE COMPLIANCE COSTS -- MOTIVATES THE GOVERNMENT TO PRY INTO THE PRIVATE TRANSACTIONS & EARNINGS OF CITIZENS -- PROVIDES A TREMENDOUS SOURCE OF REVENUE TO EXPAND THE SIZE, ACTIVITY, & POWER OF THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT

THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, SOCIALISM, & THE GROWING U.S. NATIONAL DEBT: OBAMA'S CALL FOR "HOPE & CHANGE" IN AMERICA HAS TURNED INTO A NIGHTMARE IN WHICH THE U.S. SHIP OF STATE IS BEING DELIBERATELY STEERED TOWARD A WHIRLPOOL OF DEBT THAT WILL DESTROY THE NATION & ITS ECONOMY. WHAT MUST BE DONE TO GET US OUT OF THE MESS CREATED BY PRESIDENT OBAMA & THE LEFTWING LIBERAL DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS?

SOCIETY, LAW, PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS, & RECLAIMING AMERICA'S HERITAGE:  THE FISCAL IRRESPONSIBILITY & UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTIONS OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, COMBINED WITH THE CULTURAL & SOCIAL COLLAPSE THAT HAS BEEN UNFOLDING FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DECADES, SIGNIFY A COURSE ON WHICH AMERICA CANNOT CONTINUE.  THE CONCEPT OF A CITIZEN BEING THE BENEFICIARY OF HIS OR HER OWN WORK IS BEING REPLACED WITH THE NOTION THAT SOME "GREATER GOOD" REQUIRES THEFT FROM ONE CITIZEN IN ORDER TO PURCHASE THE LOYALTY OF ANOTHER CITIZEN.  GOVERNMENT, THE PUBLIC ENTITY THAT WAS INITIALLY ESTABLISHED TO PROTECT THE PRIVATE PROPERTY & OTHER BASIC RIGHTS OF THE CITIZEN, HAS NOW BECOME THE GREATEST THREAT TO THOSE BASIC RIGHTS.  LAW, WHICH IN A FREE SOCIETY IS INTENTED TO PROVIDE A SAFE FRAMEWORK WITHIN WHICH CITIZENS CAN WORK, CONDUCT BUSINESS, & ENRICH THEIR LIVES HAS DEGENERATED INTO A WEAPON BY WHICH A CORRUPT, RUTHLESS, & UNSCRUPULOUS "RULING CLASS" BLUDGEONS THE AVERAGE AMERICAN INTO COMPLIANCE WITH ITS IMMORAL & UNCONSTITUTIONAL DECISIONS.   THE LIBERAL LEFTIST DEOMCRATIC CONGRESS, THE BRAZEN OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, & CONTINUING PURSUIT OF THEIR NOTORIOUSLY RADICAL POLICY AGENDA CONSTITUTE THE ROAD TO DICTATORSHIP, COLLECTIVISM, & ECONOMIC COLLAPSE!

BAD PUBLIC POLICY & AMERICA'S CURRENT FINANCIAL PROBLEMS:  THE PRESENT FINANCIAL CRISIS IS BASED ENTIRELY ON U.S. GOVERNMENT MANDATES THAT REQUIRE BANKS & MORTAGE COMPANIES TO MAKE HOME LOANS TO PEOPLE WITH LOW INCOMES & BAD CREDIT RECORDS.  U.S. GOVERNMENT SPONSORED ENTERPRISES, FANNIE MAE & FREDDIE MAC, WERE USED TO PURCHASE THOSE BAD LOANS, "SECURITIZE" THEM, & SELL THEM TO INSURANCE, BANKING, & INVESTMENT FIRMS -- FIRMS THAT FELL VICTIM TO A NATIONAL PUBLIC POLICY BASED ON THE LEFTWING LIBERAL BELIEF THAT EVERY FAMILY HAS A RIGHT TO PURCHASE & LIVE IN ITS OWN HOME, EVEN IF UNABLE TO KEEP UP THE MORTGAGE PAYMENTS.  THE MOVE AWAY FROM THE FREE MARKET CAPITALIST ECONOMY & TOWARD STATISM, SOCIALISM, ENVIRONMENTALISM, CONFISCATORY TAXATION, & ECONOMIC REDISTRIBUTION IS ABOUT TO DESTROY AMERICA.  THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION & THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS, BOTH DRIVEN BY LIBERAL LEFTIST IDEOLOGY & POLITICAL OPPORTUNISM, ARE MAKING MATTERS CORSIDERABLY WORSE!

THE OBAMA PRESIDENCY, THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS, & THE U.S. GOVERNMENT'S FISCAL, ECONOMIC, ENERGY, & CLIMATE CHANGE POLICIES:  THE RADICAL, REDISTRIBUTIONIST, STATIST & TOTALITARIAN POLITICAL AGENDA CURRENTLY BEING PURSUED BY ENVIRONMENTALISTS, LIBERAL LEFTISTS, & BLATANTLY PARTISAN DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS & THE OBAMA WHITE HOUSE -- PURSUIT OF POLICIES THAT WILL UNDERMINE & DESTROY AMERICA'S ECONOMY & THE AMERICAN SYSTEM OF CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT, CHECKS & BALANCES, & INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY

WHAT THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DIRELY NEEDS:  SOMETHING IT CANNOT CONFISCATE -- SOMETHING IT CANNOT SECURE THROUGH A STIMULUS BRIBE -- THE CONFIDENCE, OR TRUST, OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE -- WHY THE CONGRESS & THE PRESIDENCY HAVE FAILED TO GAIN & RETAIN THAT CONFIDENCE -- THE INADEQUACY OF AMERICAN NATIONAL LEADERSHIP, WHETHER COMPRISED OF REPUBLICANS OR DEMOCRATS

U.S. BORDER CONTROL, FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY, & THE 2008 ELECTIONS:  THE NEED TO CONSIDER WHAT AMERICA IS LIKELY TO REAP BY THE VOTERS' ELECTING A PARTICULAR PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER TO THE OFFICE OF U.S. PRESIDENT -- WHAT KIND OF NATIONAL LEADER SHALL WE GET:  A PRESIDENT WHO STRIVES TO PROTECT & PROMOTE THE VITAL NATIONAL INTERESTS OF THE U.S.A., OR ONE WHO SEEKS TO PUT A PUBLIC FACE OF MOCK CONCERN & "COMPASSION" ON THE POLITICAL ELITES' INCREASINGLY SELF-SERVING ENDEAVORS?  A GLARING INDICATION OF WHAT IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN UNDER ANY PRESIDENT OF EITHER MAJOR POLITICAL PARTY:  THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOW THE BELTWAY ELITES REACT TO THE CONTINUING PROBLEM OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION & HOW THEY REACT TO THE SUBPRIME MORTGAGE DEBACLE

GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION & ENERGY COSTS:  HIGH TIME TO TAKE AN HONEST LOOK AT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT'S DIRECT & INDIRECT ROLE IN INFLATING TRANSPORTATION FUEL PRICES AT THE GASOLINE & DIESEL PUMPS -- THE IMPACT OF TAXATION, MONETARY POLICY, & ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS ON FUEL PRICES -- THE PROPOSED AFFORDABLE GAS PRICE ACT OF 2007 & WHAT IT WOULD DO

"NATIONAL HERITAGE AREAS," SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS, & CONGRESSIONAL PORK BARREL POLITICS:  THE "CELEBRATING AMERICA'S HERITAGE ACT" AS PROPOSED CONGRESSIONAL LEGISLATION TO EARMARK OVER $ 135 MILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDS FOR SOCALLED NATIONAL HERITAGE AREAS, CREATE SIX NEW NATIONAL HERITAGE AREAS, INCREASE FUNDING FOR NINE EXISTING HERITAGE AREAS, & THEREBY FURTHER EMPOWER & ENRICH ANTI-PROPERTY RIGHTS SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS -- GRANTING SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS, IN LEAGUE WITH THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, THE POWER TO FORCE LAND USE RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERS OF PRIVATE PROPERTY -- GIVING MILLIONS OF FEDERAL TAX DOLLARS TO ENVIRONMENTALIST GROUPS FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF LOBBYING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO DEPRIVE LANDOWNERS OF THEIR PROPERTY RIGHTS -- LEGISLATION DESIGNED TO INGRATIATE CONGRESSMEN WITH THE POLITICAL ENVIRONMENTALISTS

FISCAL POLICY & AMERICA'S TRANSPORTATION NEEDS:  PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS AS A MEANS OF FINANCING TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN THE U.S.A. -- WHY PPPS ARE POPULAR WITH STATE GOVERNORS & TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS -- PPPS & THE PUBLIC INTEREST -- HOW PPPS AFFECT THE TAXPAYING CITIZENRY -- THE ALTERNATIVE TO PPPS

THE SALE, OR LONGTERM LEASE, OF AMERICA'S TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE TO INTERNATIONAL FINANCIERS:  TRANSFERRING FROM THE TAXPAYERS TO PROFESSIONAL BUREAUCRATS THE POWER TO MAKE DECISIONS ON FISCAL POLICY -- TURNING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION OVER TO PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS THAT ARE NOT ACCOUNTABLE TO THE VOTERS -- DESTROYING THE AMERICAN SYSTEM OF DEMOCRATIC ACCOUNTABILITY & SUBJECTING THE PEOPLE TO OPPRESSIVE TAXATION

THE "NEW DIRECTION" PROCLAIMED BY THE LEADERSHIP OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY MAJORITY IN THE U.S. CONGRESS:  MOVING THE U.S.A. & ITS ALLIES TOWARD DEFEAT IN IRAQ, THE U.S.A. TOWARD THE LARGEST FEDERAL TAX INCREASE IN THE COUNTRY'S HISTORY, & THE ENTIRE WORLD TOWARD ECONOMIC CATASTROPHE, A DISASTER TO BE CREATED BY SERVING THE IDEOLOGY & PUBLIC POLICY AGENDA OF POLITICAL ENVIRONMENTALISM & IMPOSING SEVERE LIMITS ON THE USE OF ENERGY DERIVED FROM FOSSIL FUELS -- CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS, POLITICAL ENVIRONMENTALISTS, GLOBAL-WARMING ALARMISTS, & THEIR GRAND DESIGN FOR A NEW DARK AGE

DEFENDING AMERICA AGAINST THE ISLAMIST JIHAD, BOTH AT HOME & ABROAD:  TAKING THE FIGHT TO THE TERRORISTS, DEFEATING & DESTROYING DESPOTIC, TERRORIST-SUPPORTING & TERRORIST-HARBORING POLITICAL REGIMES, BRINGING CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY TO THE ISLAMIC MIDDLE EAST, & PROTECTING THE AMERICAN HOMELAND -- CONGRESSIONAL FISCAL & LEGISLATIVE SUPPORT FOR PERFORMANCE OF THE TASKS AT HAND

THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT SPACE PROGRAM CARRIED ON BY THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS & SPACE ADMINISTRATION -- SPACE SHUTTLES, SPACE FLIGHTS, & HUMAN BEINGS TRAVELING & LIVING IN OUTER SPACE:  A VERY UNWISE & COSTLY ENDEAVOR INVOLVING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THE U.S.A. CAN ILL AFFORD TO THROW AT A SPACE PROGRAM THAT ROBOTS COULD PERFORM MUCH BETTER THAN PEOPLE

CONGRESS, U.S. FISCAL POLICY, & THE NEEDS OF THE MILITARY:   SABOTAGING AMERICAN NATIONAL SECURITY -- A DEVASTATING EXPOSE OF HOW MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HAVE ROUTINELY CONTRIBUTED TO THE NATIONAL DEBT, WHILE CONSISTENTLY STRIPPING VITALLY NEEDED FUNDS FROM THE DEFENSE BUDGET DURING A TIME OF WAR

THE VOTERS' GROWING DEMAND FOR FISCAL RESTRAINT & RESPONSIBILITY ON THE PART OF ELECTED GOVERNMENT OFFICEHOLDERS -- THE TAXPAYERS' REVOLT AGAINST EXCESSIVE & UNCONTROLLED GOVERNMENT SPENDING, RISING PUBLIC DEBT, & THE POLITICAL OPPORTUNISM & FISCAL IRRESPONSIBILITY OF POLITICIANS IN OFFICE:  THE TRUE MEANING & SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CALIFORNIA RECALL ELECTION

U.S. MILITARY DEFENSE NEEDS & THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGETARY SHELL GAME
