		<description><![CDATA[I always crack up when I hear the code words &quot;International Banking Cartel,&quot; used to cover up anti-Semitism.

They can&#039;t publicly admit that they&#039;re just bitter, conspiracy theory racists. They know they&#039;re wrong, so they have to cover it up.

Come up with something original, NWOSlave. I&#039;ve been reading nonsense about &quot;International Banking Cartels&quot; and the Jews all my life....those lies are older than the California Redwoods. Sadly, just as survivable.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Death and Taxes. The two inevitable things which none of us can escape (lawfully). As one of the despised (by Romney and Party) 47% who pays no income taxes because she is RETIRED and receiving the Social Security benefits for which I PAID over 50 years, I do not earn enough to pay INCOME taxes. But, like the rest of us, except for the couple of states that don&#039;t have them, I pay SALES TAXES.  I pay the same amount as a billionaire has to pay. Do I mind?  No, not really.  
Although I could get away without paying sales taxes on various high cost items by having my brother in Oregon purchase it for me (and then pay the shipping costs) but I prefer to purchase LOCALLY and help my city and state do what they must do.
Libraries are not free, neither are the police and fire protections I enjoy, so why not chip in and help pay for them? 
Freedom and liberty are NOT free!  As citizens of this glorious country, we should be proud to support our local businesses and cities and towns and state.
Am I a nut? No. I am a CITIZEN of the United States of America and the State of Texas and as a CITIZEN, it is my responsibility to do the right things in order to remain free.
As far as the &quot;Joos&quot; owning the banks, etc. that is a crock of male bovine excrement!  Virtually ALL banks are owned by the stock holders of those banks, not individuals.  The &quot;Joos&quot; are not some mysterious bunch of people who are all wealthy and are out to control the world.  They are just ordinary people like anyone else with the exception of their religion--a religion that is over 3,500 years old. They have provided the world with incredible scientific, medical, and social benefits that all humanity has enjoyed.
The Jewish State of Israel (which does not discriminate against non-Jews, any person may become a citizen regardless of their religious or ethnic background) has created life-saving inventions, such as the coronary artery stent to name just one, and the ONLY radiation free mammogram. The medical and scientific benefits the Jewish people have given the world is incredible. Stop picking on them.
In closing, I paid income taxes up the yang when I was working. My &quot;reward?&quot; My life&#039;s savings were destroyed when the banks and Wall Street screwed all of us, so now all I have is my Social Security.  AND I EARNED EVERY SINGLE PENNY THAT I RECEIVE.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Doesn&#039;t the SPLC have a slush fund of around 2 or 300 million? Isn&#039;t the SPLC funded by Soros and the rest of the international banking cartel? Since the SPLC is little more than a division of the international banking cartel, I can see why the SPLC would label anyone whose not willing to pay the private banking corporation, a hate group.

A bit of a conflict of interest, but nothing new for the SPLC. Whatever Soros funds, the SPLC places a halo above that organizations head. Whatever Soros doesn&#039;t like, the SPLC labels a hate group.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[James, the SPLC report makes clear that sovereign citizens are a subculture of disaffected tax payers. It does not suggest that anyone who doesn&#039;t want to or like to pay taxes is an extremist. Your argument is a fallacy of false attribution, and hence, rubbish.
