No nation in history has ever survived a tax burden that reached a third of its national income. <br /><br />Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Iraqi refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Saddem, and in the midst of his story one of my friends turned to the other and said, "We don't know how lucky we are." And the Iraqi stopped and said, "How lucky you are? I had someplace to escape to." And in that sentence he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there's no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
