I suppose you can stick you head in the sand and ignore whats going on around you but it doesnt change the fact that goddess is correct. We have lost all of those rights and more. Have you read the partriot act? How about title 26 the tax code? How about the bill that just passed last month for the blank check for Paulson to bail out freddie and fannie. Did you catch that thing in there where all CC transactions must now be reported to the IRS. What happened to 4th amendment?

Bush Suspended habeus corpus and the Sc backed him on that. Theres more info at the we the people foundation. They are the ones that brought that suit.

The right to petition the government, was just before the SC recently and they refused to hear it essentially shooting down another freedom since it was rejected all the way up to them. I suppose we do still have that right but essentially a part of that right it was argued, should be a mandatory response from the government, essentially holding our government accountable. The courts disagreed.

Freedom used to mean that I do what I want as long as i dont interfere with anyone elses freedom. Now freedom is whatever is left over after the government gets through with you.

Oh and since you brought it up. Please let us know what income is. And by the way, I have read the tax codes and many supreme court cases so I understand the stuff pretty well. But please tell us what income is.
