Serf's up

Folks, you are a serf and don't know it. AFP has reported for a few years, and Fox News a few days ago, that your "tax-free day" is Aug. 9 this year. Just think, you get to keep what you earn for the rest of the year.

In plain language, you've worked until Aug. 9 to pay federal, state and local taxes, etc.

Buy a new car, and there is around $400 taxes, hidden and outright, on it.

ObamaCare brings in 20 new "taxes," over $1 trillion starting in 2014. Welcome to socialized medicine.

I alluded to serfdom above. In the Middle Ages, the serfs gave 33 percent to their kings.

You're giving around/over 50 percent. Hail, King Barack.
