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.
