“You load sixteen tons, what do you get; another day older and deeper in debt; Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go, I owe my soul to the company store.” The singer Tennessee Ford had it right, at that time too many Americans where basically owned by the company.

Unfortunately we have the same problem today, but instead of the company, its big government. President Obama wants to give you a stimulus job, government run health care and student loans, control your energy consumption, and now sell you a home you’ll never own the land too (Program sells homes at cheaper rate, 2/12/10).

Government derives it power from the people for the purpose of protecting our unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Tyranny no matter how comfortable is still tyranny.

This is nothing new for mankind who have always been willing to sell themselves during difficult times for the perception of security. Our national motto used to be “In God We Trust”, even though it’s still on the dollar bill, a more accurate motto would be “In Government We Trust”.

“You load sixteen tons, what do you get; another day older and deeper in debt; Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go, I owe my soul to the government.”
