    I need reminding on this - who exactly is the US defending itself against? Which particular country or group of countries is preparing to invade?

    Actually, I think the tax code will never be scrapped because politicians are afraid of change, including this President.

    It is politically safer to be mediocre and keep things the way they are, than risk failure while daring greatly.

    Well that's yet another reason.. I think one of the other top reasons is you'd put an entire industry out of business. CPA's and Accountants. What would they do?

    The reason we've not been invaded is why we spend money on defense. Thank about that for a bit. ;)

    I guess that being engaged in warring conflicts on other countries' territories is one problems, that almost none of the large and developed countries have managed to aviod. For now, it's not only about the USA, but the Russian Federation, and France (the recent revolution in Libya, for instance)..

    The above is simply an outlandish and preposterous lie.

    Thank you for once more showing that stupid is what stupid posts. Did you know that the only time America and Canada went to war, Canadian kicked Americans ass? Do you know that in both WWI and WWII, Canada entered the war before USA while Americans were sitting on their cute ass?

    It really all depends on what TV channel you tune in and where. If you watch French TV, you will eventually believe it's all America's fault and America's fault only. If you watch nothing but Fox News, you will start believing that Obama is the anti christ. All depends on through which filter you choose to observe the world.
