I just finished watching a show called American Greed about some old bald dude who liked pole strippers named Starr and how he conned a bunch of old ladies and dumb old artist dudes out of millions in cash and how this guy should burn in hell for this. I mean the poor old ladies who got screwed by this guy actually trusted his BS right up until the end. That got me thinking that this guy was an amateur compared to another crook and ponzie schemer named the United States gubbermint and how much money it owes that is backed by absolutely nuthin' except empty promises from the drunk himself. I mean Uncle Sam is so rotten he embezzled money from me before I was born to pay for junk he promised to give me with money he has already spent! I mean this crazy Uncle can't even pay his bills today and we still got people who trust his dumb crooked arse.

But just curious to see if Generation's X and Y have a clue on how much is owed per taxpayer to crap that Uncle Sam promised but has already spent the money?

Holy crap, there is a debt...and taxes? Why thank you fine poster, you are the very very first person to ever mention the existence of these two things...they most certainly have not been brought up by anyone else ever ever ever, my god...

And with such a complex and complete understanding of the issue, too.

We are richer for it, truly.

Just check this.

Your name disallows me to take this seriously. Your post only backs that up.

I'm going to go to the World Assembly and propose a commendation for him, what do you think?

"I watched a show about a con artist, and figured I could make some awful political analogy thereby proving that government is ebil. People's suffering is a great way to make a completely unrelated political point don't you think?"

That's what I got from your OP.

I want 1,000,000,000,000,000$.

Exactly £3480344.99.

Sure, but where would you put it?

To start, dear Farmhamia, to start...these startling insights, these brilliant revelations...they should not be contained to these pages, they need to be sung on high until all are warned.

Take flight, sir, take flight! Bring your message to the masses...sing it in the comment sections of Yahoo! articles on store openings, YouTube videos about a cat and a dog that are friends, blogs on hamburger joints in the greater Austin area...

Run and tell the world, my friend, tell the world!

$52,000 per citizen.
$142,550 per tax-paying citizen.

There's a Nobel for economics, right?

I figured it'd be in Rials. You know, because Obama's a muslim.

Yep. It's all going to a secret society dedicated to putting out conspiracy theories on the web based in London.

To the Chinese, yes.

This is overly complicated. I'm about to start throwing tea into a large body of water. All the tea I have. And then... and then... er... something will come of that. I'm sure.

By the way, the poll will be used to determine the actual US debt per taxpayer. All happenings in international economics thus far are irrelevant. The fate of the US economy rests on an NS poll.

No, no, you don't throw your tea in the water, you throw someone else's tea in and then blame it on Native Americans.

Are you sure you're old enough to pay taxes?

Now, you're making my protest overly complicated! And it still doesn't solve the problem of all this cheap, crappy tea that I have laying about from several Christmases ago.

That's easy. Wrap it up and re-gift it.
