WTF. The government goes out of its way to incentivize a poor family structure. I'm turning into a believer. Every bill or regulation passed I ask the question 'what incentive does this create?', because I know the government is in the business of steering people in a direction they want them to go, and not actually helping them.
Then we have shit like the housing bubble of 2008 that created incentives for banks to approve risky loans , and then when the bubble pops it's the 'evil bank's fault' and we need more regulation.
Some shady shit is going on. This is the kind of shit Bill Clinton started, Barack has continued, and Hillary will be the final form. Let's not forget that the Health care bill was originally her baby. Once we rely on the government for everything, we have no religous or family structure, and our gus are taken away, America as we know it will fall to Authoritarianism.we are just cattle to these people. They don't care.

Why does government have the right to discriminatorily extort you and call you taxation?
What duty do we have to obey?
IMO, the concept of political authority differs little from religion.
