Note: The "payroll tax cut" is the one where the gubment stopped taking some peoples' medicare and social security taxes. Supposedly those programs are "isurance programs" -- but when was the last time you were FORCED to pay for an insurance prog-- oh, yeah, the federales are now FORCING US citizens to pay for health insurance.

Ahh, remember the ghosts of the free market, where people were not forced to buy anything?

Be Seeing You!
