When it comes to government theft it's never like anyone thought. They'll come up with new methods of theft that defy the mind of ordinary men.
Here in TN we had something like a 75(maybe it was only 35 but it was a serious amount of money) billion dollar surplus in government money intake. Now, my way of viewing something like that is...oh, we didn't need all we took...lets give it back to the people we took it from. Does anyone think that is what they're thinking about? Why hell no, the first thing out of their mouths was...what can we spend it on? Trust me, they'll find something whether the people want it or not.
