Thank you, Bill!  I'm printing out this essay to use the next time one of my sheeple family members tells me that we already have plenty of "freedom" in this country.

Mr. Turtel should blog more often than once every two years.

If you add up all the taxes you pay, including income taxes, Social Security, sales, real estate, gasoline, telephone, and dozens of other hidden taxes, government loots over forty percent of your hard-earned income in taxes. ... In the Middle Ages, medieval rulers took about 20 percent of their serfs' produce.

You pay twice as much taxes to your government as a Mediæval serf would have. That's a really succinct way to sum up the state of the modern United States.

If everyone would post so well, every two years would be sufficient.

Thanks for posting the article

I like his writing - printed one of his article in the KFP early on.
