Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago…and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.

We had absolutely no national debt..
We had the largest middle class in the world…
And Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

I’m not saying that no one should pay taxes, obviously the government needs a revenue source to perform its legitimate duties…LEGITIMATE DUTIES.

Billions a year in entitlement programs, and billions more with upcoming Obamacare.
Maintaining a “defense” budget that is more than double the combined budget of the rest of the world.
Fighting wars of aggression across the world, occupying foreign nations.
Sending billions to “allies” and “enemies” alike.
Arming “allies” and “enemies” alike.

None of this is legitimate.

I don’t want zero government, or ineffective, underfunded government.
I want properly funded, effective government that does exactly what it is supposed to do and nothing more.
.
We know that Obama signed a record defense budget last year.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_defense_budget

Defense-related expenditures outside of the Department of Defense constitute between $216 billion and $361 billion in additional spending, bringing the total for defense spending to between $880 billion and $1.03 trillion in fiscal year 2010.

And compare that level of spending with the rest of the military world.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_budget

(in billions)
United Kingdom 57.670
France 54.592
Germany 38.145
Italy 33.454
Canada 18.293
Spain 14.295
Turkey 11.593 (2006)
Netherlands 10.232
Greece 7.323
Poland 6.144
Norway 4.969
Belgium 4.315

So yes, US military spending is more than double the rest of the world.
