See, that's what always trips up the thieves! They get greedy. I have seen that quote before, in its entirety. I think he is actually correct (not that I condone thievery). If you steal only a little at a time, while making sure the people have what they need, you will probably get away with it for a while. It is when you get greedy and start taking more and more that people notice and get pissed.

This is called government.
ALOHA !!
What we have now is TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. That sent our Founding Fathers onto the course of REVOLUTION against the British.
Think about it ... Who here was given a choice about TARP or IRAQ? There was a deluge of citizens who hounded their representatives not to hand over $700bil to the Wall Street banks, but all it took in the end was a little "nicely" placed political KY JELLY, known as PORK and VOILE!!! Hank is now on TV asking for the other half! I still do not see how the first $350bil has benefited AMERICA and WE THE PEOPLE! There is nothing TANGIBLE!! Then GW throws $17bil at the BIG 3 just so they do not collapse on his watch! I am sure that guarantees some of TARP will be spent on the GW Presidential Library!! Really George? Really? What LEGACY are you talking about? Your LEGACY can be summed up in one word ... KATRINA! What did anyone expect from a Vietnam War draft dodger and a DADDY'S BOY?
The Declaration Of Independence DEMANDS that WE THE PEOPLE throw out TYRANNY and restore honest government and honest money. Only one word describes what the US government is today and that is pure TYRANNY!
In case you have forgotten or have never read the Declaration Of Independence here is a reminder of what our Founding Fathers and every generation since have fought and died for(except George and Dick).
This is the base, the core of our Freedoms ...
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government ..."
I like this part best ... Why? Because it describes what the TWO PARTY system empowered by the US FED has wrought upon each and every one of us.
"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world."
GOOGLE the word "usury" ...
See our Founding Fathers knew the BANKS and their FIAT were coming and would persist in destroying America for their own gain. Its all on TV right now! Our Founding Fathers knew the ROTHCHILD'S of the World and what they were capable of.
Has there not been a LONG TRAIN OF ABUSES? Since 1913 when the US FED came into power ... that's 95 years! Isn't that LONG enough or are we such gluttons for punishment that we desire another DAY of TYRANNY, ANOTHER YEAR so that our children and their children and their children's children will forever pay the price of our indecision and cowardice? We are leaving a legacy of DEBT and RUIN unless WE THE PEOPLE act ...
Abolish the US FED and then abolish the TWO PARTY SYSTEM that is owned by the US FED. Do you need any more evidence of who owns who than HANK PAULSON at the US TREASURY and the US BANKS suddenly getting $700Bil?
That was the first nationally televised, CONgress sanctioned, US TAXPAYER robbery in history! It was there on TV, in all its glory, for all to see ... the CRIME of the MILLENNIUM and practically nobody noticed ...
EYES WIDE SHUT!
Lets go back and start over and obey the LAW OF THE LAND. Lets revisit the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE and take a stand against TYRANNY! The light is upon them and now it is up to us as free men and free women to take back the reins of power in this country.
If you must wait to see if OBAMA lives up to the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE then I believe you will be ultimately disappointed, as he is bought and paid for and if that is NOT obvious to you then look closer, but first remove your darkened glasses of HOPE!
Instead ... QUESTION AUTHORITY!!
Well, damn Kaimu! I have to agree with both posters above. I have come to realize that we, the people, are getting the shaft. And most people don't even know it! When I talk to people about it, most look at me like I'm crazy. They take the status quo for granted. They can't even imagine that there could be a different, better way. It will have to get worse before it gets better I suppose. But I am worried about what "worse" means in this case.
"Mobutu embezzled over $5 billion USD from his country, ranking him as the third-most corrupt leader in the past two decades and the most corrupt African leader during the same period."
Icks!
Surely if anyone was that corrupt in the U.S., they would be brought to justice ;-|
And this environment also bring us: There are now more slaves on the planet than at any time in human history.
"Standing in New York City, you are five hours away from being able to negotiate the sale, in broad daylight, of a healthy boy or girl."
Not sure if anybody here reads this comic strip or not. Sometimes it's "meh" and sometimes it's golden. This one is golden...
