We really didn't have a national debt untill WW2...sure would have been nice if some of our European allies would have paid us off instead of sticking us with the bill.
The worst shape we were in as far as debt was back in the latter 40's though the 50's when the debt was more than our GDP. Right now I think we are at about 74%.
Have a good one!:s4:
a heavy progressive or graduated income tax is also a pretty "communist" thing...it isn't communist or fascist though...those are just buzz words...Quote:

The statement about income tax paying the interest for the national debt, is just a circumventing the real issue. The national debt is accrued through running vital services, so paying back the to the national debt is the same as paying for the services that only exist from borrowing the money. People always scream blooody murder about taxes here, but they sure like the fact that there are roads and electricity (highly subsidized), and while most people don't like law enforcement, it sure is nice to know that your neighbor cant just blow your house up without any reprcussions.

Personally this is what I'm in favor of.......the more ya make and your spending power grows the more your taxed on the products you buy:
What is the FairTax plan?
The FairTax plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income and payroll based taxes with an integrated approach including a progressive national retail sales tax, a prebate to ensure no American pays federal taxes on spending up to the poverty level, dollar-for-dollar federal revenue neutrality, and, through companion legislation, the repeal of the 16th Amendment.
The FairTax Act (HR 25, S 1025) is nonpartisan legislation. It abolishes all federal personal and corporate income taxes, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, and self-employment taxes and replaces them with one simple, visible, federal retail sales tax administered primarily by existing state sales tax authorities.
The FairTax taxes us only on what we choose to spend on new goods or services, not on what we earn. The FairTax is a fair, efficient, transparent, and intelligent solution to the frustration and inequity of our current tax system.
The FairTax:
Abolishes the IRS
Closes all loopholes and brings fairness to taxation
Ensures Social Security and Medicare funding
Brings transparency and accountability to tax policy
Allows American products to compete fairly
Reimburses the tax on purchases of basic necessities
Enables retirees to keep their entire pension
Enables workers to keep their entire paycheck

Alex Jones is an anarchist. No matter what it is he will go against the point of view if it is supported by any government. Those FEMA camps are for him and his tinhat brigade when they decide to try and overthrow the government based on crap like this. Instead of watching a 2hr youboob video Read this, straight out of the horses mouth.

Appointments to the Board
The seven members of the Board of Governors are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate to serve 14-year terms of office. Members may serve only one full term, but a member who has been appointed to complete an unexpired term may be reappointed to a full term. The President designates, and the Senate confirms, two members of the Board to be Chairman and Vice Chairman, for four-year terms.
