I’d like to share a quote I found over at SurvivalBlog, in the archives. (I hope JWR doesn’t mind.) Congress has ALWAYS tried to get in your wallet. Just ask Davy Crockett
“Congress has no power to appropriate money as an act of charity. As individuals, Americans have the right to give away as much money as they please, but Congress has no right to take our money from us and give it away, however worthy the recipient.” - Tennessee Congressman David “Davy” Crockett, from The Life of Colonel David Crockett, by Edward Sylvester Ellis (Philadelphia: Porter & Coates, 1884)
