Postage Increases Might Be the Least of eBay's Problems

The USG has a cashflow problem. They're not going to make themselves (big business) actually pay taxes, so they're looking high and low to see how they can get more of their tax income in their pockets. My feeling is that the US Government is an illegal entity in itself, and whether or not IRS hirelings know it, they are gangsters robbing people. Bush squelched economic activity a little too much, and here you see a piece the other side of the story of our current economy. They can make the price of a share of a large cap go high pretty easily. They can borrow from Japan and give to the rich owners of hedge funds. But they can't actually do anything right and make an economy tick. So now they're desperate to fund this illegal war by robbing more people in taxes. I think the real problem is the Federal Government is losing power at the International banking centers after Bush's crap he pulled through Wolfowitz, and in order to keep their illegitimate asses in their government chairs without the Federal Government itself going bankrupt and defaulting on all their stupid loans, they have to find a way to actually get income without robbing foreign nations.
