Legalized Theft – by the Feds

The term economic stimulus is being tossed all over the place the last few days. Stimulating the economy can be done many ways, and the best way to do that would be to reduce the size of government, reduce the tax burden and reduce the amount of business over-regulation.

The stimulus being touted today, described recently on FoxNews.com, includes a perfect definition of legalized theft. The act of government where they take money from someone and give it to someone else. This is theft, it’s immoral.

Pelosi, D-Calif., agreed to drop increases in food stamp and unemployment benefits during a Wednesday meeting in exchange for gaining rebates of at least $300 for almost everyone earning a paycheck, including low-income earners who make too little to pay income taxes.

What? Are they kidding? People who do not pay any taxes should not be getting cash from thieves.
