Campaign For Liberty — Thou Shall Not Steal

Campaign For Liberty — Thou Shall Not Steal: "This year, we will only pay for 58% of what government spends; we will borrow the rest, leaving it to future generations to repay the debt. Are you ok with stealing $5,400 from your grandkids and their grandkids? That is your per capita share of the deficit this year - the amount of spending you did not pay for. No different than driving away from the pump, or skating out on the waitress.

To pay for the government we have, each one of us would have to take a 70% hike in every single one of the taxes we pay. Is anyone willing to do that? If not, then the ethical thing to do would be to cut government spending down to what we are willing to pay for ourselves - to cut it almost in half."
