According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the salaries of federal employees are double that of private sector counterparts.  Yet statist politicians and media elites gasp at the the thought of tax relief for American families.  They berate proponents of tax cuts with cries of  ”how can we afford it?”  Here is an example of “journalist” Christiane Amanpour arrogantly lecturing members of congress about how taxes need to be increased.

As if the government is entitled to our money, and we should crouch down and be grateful for what we’re allowed to keep.  Meanwhile, federal employees are living high on the hog, a substantial portion of them working in unconstitutional and unnecessary bureaucracies. The thought that the federal government should shrink to its constitutionally mandated levels, and six-figure salaried federal employees go out and get a real job producing something is apparently too much of a brain freeze for some people.

How many taxpayer dollars have spent by federal agencies doing statistical research studies justifying their own existence?

A real stimulus package to the U.S. economy would be to dismantle this federal leviathan and infuse that money into the private the sector. The economic explosion would be unprecedented.  The current path we are on is not sustainable – we are quickly becoming a nation where the wealthy elites work in government, and the citizens are becoming slaves being eaten alive by taxes and inflation. Meanwhile, national debt is in the trillions of dollars, our currency is being devalued, people are becoming increasingly dependent on government subsistence, and thousands of jobs are being outsourced daily to foreign countries.

The America of 2020 is poised to look more like communist China than the freedom-loving, free market United States that we have all come to know and love. As the snippy Ms. Amanpour continues to lecture us that we’re not paying enough taxes, maybe she will be the first to volunteer to contribute more of her paycheck to keep the scores of high-paid federal workers employed. If not, maybe she’ll stand in front of the tank in Times Square for us in 2020 as the politburo looks down from on high with hands out and guns drawn.

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
