In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

Podesta wants to take more of your property

John Podesta, president of a liberal think-tank, wants the government to take more of your property with a VAT, or value-added tax. A VAT is pretty much a national sales tax. In their never-ending thirst for our money, the government, cheered on by the liberal/socialist types like Podesta, consider all the countless ways they can rob us.

Podesta is as uninformed and clueless about history and economics as well. As you can read in the article, he says that former President Clinton's tax on the wealthy led to a growing U.S. economy. Oh really? Are you sure, John, it had nothing to do with the clueless Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan printing billions and billions out of thin air?
