As you can read in this article, government's at all levels never stop taking. They tax the stuff we buy, our home, our investments, our income - when will it end? The article states how property taxes have doubled in the last seven years. Amazing. As long as we feed the Leviathan with tax dollars, it will continue to grow.
There will be a reckoning, however. By 2030, just a short 22 years, the entire federal budget will be eaten up by Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, defense, and the interest on the deficit. That's it. No money for anything else. I guess we'll still be the "greatest country on earth" then too. I doubt it.

Will have to relocate to Washington state, 1% increase per year on property tax. How about our local government Houston, 10% increase per year or more and Houston has a surplus of tax revenue for the year. My deepest Christmas wishes for Bill White and that his political career come to an end after Houston.
Cheerios and Merry Christmas.
A quote from John Zogby at newsmax.com
Ron Paul: He's going to do better than anyone expects. Look to Paul to climb into the double-digits in Iowa. Why? He's different, he stands out. He's against the war and he has the one in four Republicans who oppose the war all to himself. Libertarianism is hot, especially among free-market Republicans and 20-somethings. And he's an appealing sort of father figure. He's his own brand. All he needs to do is beat a couple of big names in Iowa, then New Hampshire is friendlier territory. After all, the state motto is "Live Free or Die."
Ron Paul leads in the AOL online poll. He's going to do well!
