Taxpayers are slaves to big government

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In 1776 we declared a right to these, nothing less.

You, Mr./Ms. Politician (got to be politically correct); you, welfare-addict; you, self-righteous do-gooder; you do not have a right to reach into my pocket to take what I've worked every day of the week to earn and for which I've never begged or cajoled anyone.

Which god gave you the right to enslave me to your plantation of arrogant, know-it-all-ism, to your plantation of selfish greed, to your plantation of do-as-I-say?

This is precisely what you are doing, enslaving me - and I will not quietly accept the food and shelter of master (president, governor, party) in return for the forced labor of new taxes and forced participation in a health care system or other program you think best for me.

See yourselves for who and what you are: the new masters and overseers on plantation America. My fellow countrymen, for whose freedom 600,000 died in the Civil War, you should be the first to recognize this modern enslavement in the name of a self-serving power-grab that is masquerading as social justice.

It has nothing at all to do with, nor is commanded by, the concept of Christian charity.

Which god gave you the authority to enslave me to being complicit by forced taxes or workplace threats into depriving the unborn of life.

Which god gave you the authority to so ensnare me with your rules and requirements that I work half or more of my life for your gluttonous schemes instead of my own pursuit of happiness?

Get out of my house, get out of my life.
