We need a Guarantee

Don't you hate it when you feel like you have been cheated? You buy a toaster and after a few days it stops working. You take it back to....Wal-Mart or Best Buy or wherever. They tell you all sales are final or drop dead. You have been cheated. Don't go back.

To relieve this feeling of being cheated we have all begun to look for guarantees. I expect a guarantee at the car wash by my house. If I'm not satisfied I get another car wash for free. FedEx used to have a guarantee..."Absolutely, Positively overnight or it's free". Those days are gone. Their guarantee sounded more like a line from a hooker and they dropped it.

As tax payers we want a guarantee. How much money have you sent to government? Do you feel like you are getting your monies worth? Many of us don't think government is spending our money in the best possible way. We feel cheated and like with the toaster....we won't let this happen again. We want a guarantee.

Increasingly it seems that more and more Americans and Europeans are on the "dole". Government takes money from solid hard working people who have paid their taxes and gives it away to dead beats that did not get an education or a job and expect hand outs.  Perhaps this is an over simplification. Regardless, money is taken from people who planned and worked hard. This money goes into "programs" that "help the poor and the needy". The problem is the group of "poor" keeps increasing and the group of hard working tax payers is getting smaller.

Something has to change. The money is running out and tax payers are fed up with paying for dead beats. If tax dollars are being spent on poor people.....should we get to tell the needy what to do? Kids drop out of school, do drugs, have babies and tax payers have to cover the cost. Over half of Amerika and 80% of Greece on are government payments. It is unsustainable and there is a revolt coming.

People, who have taken responsibility for their lives, went to school, got a good job and work hard, are not going to pay anymore. Think about taxes for just a minute. You pay federal income tax, state income tax, city tax, sales tax, gasoline tax and misc excise taxes on things like your phone. Over half the money you earn goes to one form of tax or another. We have to draw the line. No new tax. No more money for government. Here in California, Governor Brown is begging people to approve new taxes. He swears "all of the money will go to schools." This is the same story we heard when we were asked to approve the lottery.

We need a guarantee. No New Tax or you can stop paying.
