Tax thought

I find myself thinking about the idiots in Washington since it's tax season. If we all had to write a check at this time of year, there would be more people that cared about this issue. Instead, most of us have our taxes taken out of our checks each pay period and we have learned to live with it. There was a reason the founders of our country put in the constitution something about the government not being able to collect tax by withholding. It dumbs us down and they can take more money and get too big. They have become too big and they are out of control! The government should be there to provide money for local police, fire departments, roads, bridges, and schools. That's just the STATE government. The federal government should be there to make sure we are not invaded and that's about it. If these idiots keep spending money like they are....there will be revolts. Try stopping withholding, saving your money all year and write a check next April 15th to the federal government for the tax you owe and see if I'm wrong. 

With the economy the way it is, the federal government is about to SPEND one trillion or more of your money. Common sense tells me this is not right. This will mean higher tax forever or until people put an end to this madness. We are turning into France. The people in Washington need to ask themselves what any socialist country has ever contributed to the world. The problem is they don't care as long as they have power. If you take all the people's money by taxing them....you leave them no incentive to invent. We are moving the wrong way too fast.

  1. My hell. You're scaring me! I hate the reality of life! I prefer to live in a cave and pretend everything is OK.

  2. It's sickening and sad to see that's for sure. The thing that bothers me is the government doesn't make money and in reality doesn't even have money. They tax the citizens more if they need money. The notion that they can "fix" the economy by coming up with hundreds of billions of dollars that we don't have (we owe China 1.5 trillion dollars) is insane. We're fixing the "problem" we have by creating more of a problem (debt). The other sickening thing is we're bailing out a bunch of failing companies that deserve to feel the market conditions just like all other companies. We are very close to living in socialism. Sad state of affairs.
