“In fiscal year 2000, the Federal on-budget revenues, which come almost entirely from personal and corporate income taxes, from estate taxes, capital gains taxes, and excise taxes, totaled 101 percent of expenditures.

They also must act, because the looting of America will not stop until Americans stop it. It is not too late. It is almost, but not quite, too late.”
