Big Daddy Government

Dear FairTaxers

This was indeed a great post.

I had a good chuckle with the image of Uncle Sam, "big daddy government", dolling out an allowance to his lowly constituents. Then I got to thinking about how my dad actually let me actually keep all of my paper route money, presumably to teach me some fiscal responsibility. And then I got mad again because this Uncle Sam guy
isn't even related to me and he surely doesn't seem to have any sense of fiscal responsibility, yet he wants my money before I even have a chance to spend it.

So then I got to thinking about these guys who wrote the constitution and founded the country, Jefferson, Franklin, Washington; and I tried to conger up an image of these noble gentlemen filling out their tax returns. It was just too painful and I must admit that the thought of it brought a tear to my eye.

Best Regards
