Plain and simple with out the small business owner and the small business taxes that are paid the wheels of the fed would stop turning. If the small business owners of the country would unite on one front we might be able to take a stand against Washington.

Think of this, what if every small business in America just said nope we will not be working on Mondays anymore. Just the loss in sales tax, income tax, etc. would be a big loss to the Fed.

Three words GRASS ROOTS MOVEMENT, take back our dollar from the private banking sector known as the Federal Reserve and we might have a chance for "CHANGE". If not that is all you will be left with in your pocket.

Chris, I am with you, 100%, and I can go further. to declare, that the American People, be Awaken, to the devastating effects, that the Printing of "FIAT MONEY" have in our every day lives! I think, it has a direct byproduct the Formation and expansion of the nonpaying Taxes Class! I must add, that worst of all, is that we issue Credit,base to almost worthless Dollars!,…..

If 68 million people earn less than $31,987 they desperately need help. How would you like to feed a family on that income. We need to educate those people so they can move into higher paying job. I'm more than willing to pay higher taxes if it will be used to help others get an education and earn more money to help their families. The 23 million working Americans that did not pay income tax, but received 45 billions in refunds helped the economy by buying products produced by the wealthiest of tax payers. These hard working individuals sacrifice every day of the year. They hold down jobs that you don't want. Help their children with homework each night. Maintain their homes without maids. And by the way that same Federal Reserve data showed that there are currently more millionaires in the United States than ever before. The eleven trillion loss of net worth was caused by greedy people and companies promising to deliver high returns on real estate investments. These investment were no longer regulated by government due to deregulation by Bush. The top 5% of tax payers creating jobs, and taking risks deserve praise and gratitude. I agree with you there. I also agree that entrepreneurs do things differently. Many of them have been raised to think differently. The book Rich Dad Poor Dad tells it all. I liked reading your article even though I didn't agree with many of your thoughts. The United States is a great place to live.

Hi Chris, I guess we can add this to the already long list of mis-representation of the American people of the US Goverment. There are many shortcomings in how the US Government has governed our country and it is clear that the US Govenrment does not have our best interest at heart.

Your post is quite remarkable Chris; and although I did not agree with your April 1st viewpoint (April Fool's prank), and I can appreciate some element of "socialism" in certain aspects of the government, I am in agreement with your perspective. Some think your statement political considering the fact that the sentiment was the basis of the American Revolution. As a person who values aspiration, I think it's just common sense.

It's time the silent majority starts speaking up.
I'm with you!
