“It’s not your money” Cavuto video
I’ve been checking the logs and noticed a couple of people searching for Neil Cavuto’s interview with Congressman Joe Knollenberg (D-Mich) that Jim started talking about on Nov. 18, 2008.
It includes Cavuto’s famous “it’s not your money congressman” line that Jim uses as an audio clip on the show frequently.
So, I went hunting for it myself and could not find it here on the blog, so here it is for posterity.
Update (JV): Indeed … one of my most watched videos (67,000 plus views and more than 100 comments) … and for good reason.

What is most intriguing about this piece is that our Congressional Leaders "think" that the revenue generated from taxing it's citizens, is truly not of the citizens concern.
This is not specific to either of the 2 major parties. It is a disease where the elected few place themselves above their constituants. Socialism is the 2nd step as this disease spreads. Amputation is the only know cure. OK, maybe conservatism would be better, as it is not as radical.
Obviously President Lincoln was mistaken in the Gettysburg Address…
– it is no longer (and hasn't been in a very long time) a ' government of the people, by the people, for the people'
– but instead, people of the government, by the government, for the government
– we are simply serfs
