Arnold Schwarzenegger was right about one thing when he said that people pay taxes from the time they get up in the morning and flush the toilet. After reviewing the many taxes that we actually pay, I am amazed that Americans haven't revolted by now.

In PA there is a "right to work tax."

NOTE: Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago and our nation was the most prosperous in the world, had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What the H--- happened?

Noah Webster said it best: The moral principles and precepts contained in the Scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery, and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.

Taxes are just one area of our enslavement and oppression. Our Godless government is out of control! They have us believing that our hard earned money belongs to them, that taking over other countries is for our own safety, and that we don't understand what our forefathers really meant. Rule of Law is now the catch phrase. We are conditioned to abide by, and never oppose our judges -- even when they interpret the Constitution of the United States of America as if they were reading from the Communist Manifesto.

Reverend Austin Miles, head of an interdenominational ministry in Northern California, has drawn up this "politically correct" version of the 10 Commandments -- that have sorely been imposed on us:

1. Thou shalt not allow a baby of inconvenience to be born
2. Thou shalt not restrict your children's choice of association
3. Thou shalt not discipline your children
4. Thou shalt not interfere with your children's right to view porn at the library
5. Thou shalt not teach Scriptures to your children
6. Thou shalt not teach children that there is a right or wrong
7. Thou shalt not require applicants to the priesthood to believe in God or the Bible
8. Thou shalt not defend yourselves against Muslim terrorists
9. Thou shalt not demonstrate patriotism or respect for America
10.Thou shalt not allow the name, Jesus, to be uttered

People are in fear of saying "God Bless You" when a person sneezes.

William Penn warned us, "If we will not be governed by God, then we will be ruled by tyrants."
George Washington proclaimed, "It is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible."
Thomas Jefferson said, "To remove God from this country will destroy it."
