Taxed to Death Already

January 2, 2026

Writes Bill Madenn:
This link is a short, entertaining way to look at how far we have come from a country formed via a revolt over taxes.  In the: www.americanfreepress.net, I just read about what floating coffins our gigantic aircraft carriers are in the age of nuclear-armed, hypersonic missiles and, yet, we are planning to build nine more aircraft carriers.  It’s like continuing to build the tanks that the military doesn’t want because there’s a subcontractor for them in virtually every state.
I’ve been asking people for years if they would accept fiat currency for any debt that I might owe them.  Almost every one will respond with: “What is fiat currency?” or, mostly, “No, I would only accept dollars.”  It has to be obvious that, if we have to borrow funds to pay the one trillion dollars interest on our national debt of: www.usdebtclock.org, we are broke.  In addition to funding many wars that we seldom hear about like Nigeria, Somalia, Syria, et al., we are fighting Russia in Ukraine and slaughtering current residents in preparation for a Trump waterfront resort in Gaza.  Never mentioned is the one billion dollars a day cost of oppressing Venezuela.
We are losing Representatives Greene and Massie in Congress because they both had the audacity to advocate for the release of the Epstein files and a return to constitutional governance – both campaign promises of Donald Trump the presidential candidate.  Our government has been rogue almost from the beginning and we are being led by the loose cannon who replaced the zombie.  What could possibly go wrong?
