Once a tax or bureaucracy is created, its first task is increasing its size and budget. It's not like they produce anything or have to make a profit... and they have an endless supply of money... but I think they are finally going to slice open the Golden Goose and get all of those eggs at once. Here's a fine example:

This is a very good lesson to review. Carter's first reaction was to tax energy, then restrict private access, then add governmental boondoggle and roadblocks.
Obama is doing the same, only worse, with 3 more '0's at the end, and is trying to simultaneously destroy the economy, impoverish existing and unborn generations, garner life-and-death power over the masses, and set the stage for his/minions' own unprecedented personal wealth and power.
Subject: FW: Energy Question...
Absolutely...The funniest joke ever...
AND ITS ON US !
Let it sink in.
Quietly... we go like sheep to slaughter.
Does anybody out there have any memory
Of the reason given for the establishment
Of the
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY During the Carter Administration?
Anybody?
Anything?
No?
Didn't think so!
Bottom line ...
We've spent several hundred billion dollars
In support of an agency ...the reason
For which not one person who reads
This can remember. Ready???????
It was very simple ..
And at the time everybody thought
It very appropriate...
The
'Department of Energy'
Was instituted on
8-04-1977
TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE
ON FOREIGN OIL.
Hey, pretty efficient, huh?????
AND NOW IT'S 2009,
32 YEARS LATER ...
AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS
NECESSARY DEPARTMENT
IS AT
$24.2 BILLION A YEAR
IT HAS 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES
AND LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE!
THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY
'WHAT WAS I THINKING?'
Ah, yes, good old bureaucracy...
And NOW _ we are going to turn
The Banking System, Health Care &
The Auto Industry over to government
ALL IN THE NAME OF CHANGE?
May God Help Us !!!
Keep this one going....
I just got this in an email and it is just one example of the stuff that gets started, has no real purpose or progress and yet grows and grows and grows....
Just try to get rid of something like this... stand back and watch the lawyers feeding frenzy.:eek:
It only took a little over 100 years for Congress to remove the tax on that luxury item, the telephone, used to pay for the SPANISH AMERICAN WAR... the Century before last!!
Obama and gang are creating dozens, if not hundreds of new bureaucracies for everything imaginable and some that are not! That's where most of the new jobs are being created... ones that don't produce anything, unless you count a larger deficit!!
