Whoa.
Since I last dropped in, did somebody conflate FDIC and the Fed and then shoot this off into a debate about income tax, the IRS and fascism ...long about Post #36 or maybe as far back as #6?
This was educational, but starts to sound like one of those comment threads after web news stories that always end up at fascism, pro or con. It just took longer.
Mods, are you going to wait until the word "delusional" pops up? If so, everyone hold on for the ride.
