Perhaps Ron Paul’s take on debt & taxes is worth a look. http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/debt-and-taxes/

Simple solution:
Just let those who are losing it all or about to lose it all just go ahead and lose it! They’ll have to grub out an existance some way, and then maybe the young will see the value of an education, a balanced checkbook, and a good work ethic! The rest of us cannot do this for them - it’s a ‘learn by experience’ situation that REALLY hurts, but I’m not ready to do their suffering!!!!

Now there are people who are finally awakening to the national disaster? Where were you twenty years ago when I and several others were expressing the horror to come? Where were people thirty years ago when it was predicted that this nation was headed into the toilet because jobs were being shipped out of the country and illegal aliens were being shipped into it? Apparently, it would seem, that until people here are slapped up-side the head with disaster, they won’t believe there’s a disaster coming. I didn’t have a ‘crystal ball’ for me to see the disaster in the making. Common sense tells me more than any ’seer’ product can. The LAST place I pay any attention to is government when I want the truth of what is happening. They lie! Consistently, they lie! Its a major part of the ‘requirement for admission’ into a government executive position and they are the masters. Most of the media are promoters of the lies. I know, I know, I’m just some idiot 70 year old senior citizen ‘nay-sayer’ here, but the truth is being borne out as we speak, huh? America is a disaster about to happen and there’s nothing to stop it until the end comes. 1933? That was a “cake walk” compared to what’s in the wind for this country today.

Most certainly, we need a change in the laws that govern the outrageous credit card interest rates charged by “robber barron” institutions. Caps on interest rates that are being charged to under-educated, clueless individuals, who by and large, are living a hand-to-mouth existence and those whom are one lost paycheck away from living on the streets. At one time, there existed “Usary Laws” that had real teeth which detered (via extreme fines and prison terms) the unscrupulous, hurtful practises by institutions and those individuals who direct them, without exception. Change may be a great thing or it may not be so good. What change? We had a change eight years ago when the torch was passed from then President Clinton to President Bush. Was that a good change?It certainly was a dramatic change. Who really thinks it was for the better? From the frying pan into the fire is a change, but not one most people want to make. Broad philosophical appeals certainly gain attention, then the wise listen for substance and details, beyond the buzz words and the campaign slogans. This turn around we need so much will not be easy and brilliant oratory will not do it. There are too many entrenched interests involved. It takes someone who can really get in the trenches, weather the attacks and compel the coalitions necessary by finding solutions which are mutually beneficial and palatable to all involved. That’s tough. There must, also, be relief from our current tax system, and the “us-against-them” mentality of IRS bureaucrats and their storm-troopers in the field. The IRS is an institution that works outside the edicts of the Constitution — they can seize personal property, bank accounts and wages of ANYONE, without benefit of due process of law! We can, and should, abolish the IRS and make April 15 just another day. I feel the solution is the grass roots movement intitated by people who were victims of IRS tactics. A system where everyone would pay their fair share, from the underground and black market economy (illegal drugs, gaming, prostitution, illegal aliens, etc.) to individuals in the “wealthy sector” who do not pay their fair share due to existant loopholes in this system. A national sales or consumption tax, such as proposed by Fair Tax.org, would be the answer. Go to their website and make up your own mind. I, as one of many, support the idea. Perhaps, this should be debated by those running for President, since almost all of them are calling for “change”. How about some action in concert with the words?

Generally agree with your awards concepts-we need to put the big, real powers on display for all to see and despise.
Only one small disagreement with you. You state taht Bubba is on the liberal left. Wrong on both counts. He is neither liberal nor a lefty. He is, at best, a fairly moderate to conservative type, a Bill Cohen republican.

They, the tricksters can slow the breakdown and they think that their ideology will pull them through, as things get worse people will turn here and there for help as they are submerged in debt, If the government doesn’t get you the doctors will.Maybe a visit from the sheriff with the eviction notice, or the court with the bankruptcy notice from the plastic. The electricity grid going under closing one’s computor out of action is another end as the country is sold to our new Chinese-Mexican owners. We all suddenly have collective guilt for the financial crimes of the few, the rich, the Bushites. The American will make a good slave, we are used to being told how to think.
What will be the most interesting to watch will be the individualists: Ayn Rand types as they get the tommy gun in the gut and turned into productivity units.

It won`t take much more than keeping the existing tax law in place. With Fair Tax, this nation would turn around in months, and we would hold on for dear life while we boom!
Face it, 95 years of this punitive tax system has been at the base of most all problems we face economically.
