Yes, that is the problem. We are losing by small increments. I think we are seeing what is going to be done. Sheriffs are starting to take their rightful place as are the States. It may take 10 or 20 years for this to play out, however we will see a smaller less intrusive government at some point even if we do nothing. The Federal Government will run out of money soon. The Federal Government is twice as big as is economically feasible.

Yes, I agree. The question is, "What are you
doing about it?" An inch at a time.....

I can't argue Keith. This
is no longer a free country. It's not even a republic. It's a

it.

I know some of you do not agree with my limited government position,
however this is what a run away government does. We pay for our

property.
Hold onto your seat. This is just an example of how a run away
government is going to treat it's people.
This is not freedom, this is bondage.
Th article says in part:
The worst-case scenario for an individual or civil offense could be as
much as a $2,500 fine. As for those planning to profit off of the act or
a criminal offense -- such as a cellphone reseller -- the fine could be
as high as $500,000 and include prison time.
