An excellent, accurate, and much needed post! THANK YOU!! Not nearly enough is said, reported, or written about this insane practice. I'm sure we've all heard of many of the abuses of this evil deed, however. If not, do a quick search and there will be plenty to read, or just click on the articles provided by @doitvoluntarily, above.

Because the federal government is too corrupt, bloated, wasteful, and inefficient to manage our finances, it feels it must resort to theft in order to balance the collective checkbook.

When your government resorts to these tactics, it is no longer "your government," but your enemy!

This could just about happen to any of us.

Thanks again for your post, and you have a new follower.
