Congress and Obama: We Need More Innocent People in Prison
This past year, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down much of the "Honest Services Fraud" law that federal prosecutors were using as the catch-all for targeting whomever they wanted to have thrown into prison. As I wrote two years ago, this law was the ultimate prosecutorial weapon for people who already have an arsenal of injustice.
Well, just when you thought it was safe to go back into the courtroom, the Obama administration and the U.S. Senate want to tag team in order to give federal prosecutors the power to send anyone they choose to prison, no matter if the accused has committed a crime or not. For readers who think I am exaggerating, think again. As I wrote in 2009:

More on the further criminalization of Americans. Remember what Ayn Rand said: There?s no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. When there aren?t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.

They take our land... they throw innocents into prison and arm criminals... What more is it going to take to "get this party started". I agree with Max Kieser, it'll probably be when food is about 40% of the average persons income.
