Esau was a fool who fell prey to a conniving younger brother. In that story there was no "cool" one. What is the moral of that story, if you take advantage of others when they are weak you'll get all the goodies? It is a very odd story. A very odd story. Not at all what it appears.
Well that's where Jefferson screwed us up. If he had written slavery out of the constitution to begin with Lincoln never would have had to break it, and except for that part it is a damn fine document. It is a shame that abject stupidity had to break it.
Even God in the Bible only required 10%. If government has money to spend, it will. Since it's inception, this government has only gotten larger.
I have paid for my house, however, if I do not pay my taxes each year, the government will come and size my house. So in reality, I do not own my house, I am only renting from the government. No one owns land anymore, it is all owned by the government. This was made obviously plain by the last ruling on imminent domain by the Supreme Court which basically said that if the government can make more tax revenue off of the property by seizing it and selling it to someone else, it can. We are no longer secure in our person, or our property. We have long since stopped being a free country. Pretty soon we will no longer have the right to have weapons, and that is when all pretense will end.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
