Is Uncle Sam, now known as Godfather Sam? Making Americans pay for protection to live in the USA?

Question

Watch somebody say, "If you don't like America, leave!" And I'll say, "Only if you go with me & pay my way!" Seriously, to live in the state you are in, you pay state taxes. They let their big boss know you're ok. The bigger boss then makes you pay to live in this country via Federal Income tax.You buy anything to eat (in or out dining, at home, etc.) you pay sales tax, also for anything else you buy. You have to pay the small government agencies for a variety of things, i.e. license to get married, DMV fees, gas to drive, cigs to smoke, beer & liquor (which will kill you, you are in a sense paying the government to allow you to kill yourself over a period of time. You want to protect our country, you go to war and hope to hell you don't get killed as it would be a losing battle. America & other nations have enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world over many times knocking the earth off its axix. There's so many more things. Can you think of any other things ?

And, how about Uncle Sam giving NASA millions of dollars to explore the galaxy, universe, traveling to other planets (which will never happen in our lifetime), to the moon so many times (why didn't they take care of al business in 2 trips), the space station, waste of money. NASA, the last time I read anything on them said that's their mission, NOT to help earth and its many problems to improve it.

America may be the most powerful nation in the world as we've seen so far, BUT, at home, we are weak. Crime, hunger, homeless people, you name it! All the money spent on every war we've ever had and/or been involved in, would have been enough to eliminate crime, hunger, homeless people, etc. from the face of this great nation. Only thing is, our government doesn't know how to go about eliminating it. There's one real battle our government would lose badly..if an alien invasion from space attacked us, we would lose. ALSO, Clinton signed a Public Document #___ (I don't know the number) which states, if America had a real serious emergency, the power of the USA would be turned over to the United Nations to run.

Answer 1

I don't know who you are or where you got this information but you are ever so right about everything you stated except the name isn't Godfather Sam, it's Godfather Bush and yes to all of what you stated here. It costs most every American more for everything then in any other country just to survive. We are in what I call the Bush hell. Most of Americans live in fear of a nuclear war and it's seems that not one country is even trying to work for world peace and that's the biggest shame of all. If just one country made an honest effort towards world peace, maybe others would follow in their footsteps and we wouldn't have to live in fear of a nuclear war. Put the weapons away and dismantle them completely and make it a safer world to live in for all of man kind.
I have nothing good to say about any of this and unfortunately it won't be getting any better for us due to the fact that Bush has been going about changing the laws to suit himself and that leaves all of us to pay for his major mistakes.
It's been a very sad 6 years and counting for all Americans and God willing it won't get any worse but don't count on it because of all the damage Bush has done it may never get any better.
Thanks for your question and allowing answers to it.
