A couple hundred years ago, a group of people who were fed up with a 3% tax by their government decided enough was enough and The United States of America was born.
Fast forward to today.
If we fought over 3% then, why are we standing by now, with a tax rate of about 30%?
Add to that, I've worked hard my entire life, I've obeyed most laws, and I have paid MORE than my fair share of taxes.
Why then, does this government feel it has the right to take HALF OF EVERYTHING I HAVE, away from my family when I die?
How is it that this could happen? How is it that everyone just says, OK, I guess thats alright, go ahead and take HALF of my lives work, heck, the government needs it more that my family does, right?
What can we do, as average everyday working Americans, to correct this unjust, and I feel, illegal stealing by our own Government? Does anyone have any suggestions?
This has bothered me for a very long time, I don't know why, today of all days, it seems to be smacking me up the side my head so hard?
The problem is that the dumb masses keep voting for the politician who promises them the most pork, instead of the one who promises to stick to the U.S. Constitution. Too many Americans want securitiy instead of freedom. I'm not talking about security from criminal or outside sources, but financial security, the promise of the good life at somemone else's expense. (Govt. money) When enough of us realize that we sell our souls for a bowl of government pottage, maybe things will change. I ain't holdin' my breath though!
Yes, people vote for those that want to give them "free" health care, "free" college and school education, they want not to drill for oil here, they want to stop the sell of land for the sake of a snail,
so as noted we vote those into office that want to give us ( the mob) everything free. The silly thing about free, someone has to pay for it.
"A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you have." Actually, you run into trouble long before that point: A government big enough to give you everything you want still isn't big enough to get you to give anything back. "
People are complacent they don't want to bother. The government keeps making laws and everybody says that is okay because it doesn't effect me cause I wear my seat belt, I do not smoke, I am not over weight, I go to work, run to Wal Mart, go home and chill with the TV so everything is fine. They don't care that the government is trying to pass laws that if you are overweight you can not eat in restaurants. That you are not going to be allowed to light a grill in your back yard without a permit.
One day maybe we will get fed up and have a revolution but right now everybody is too content sitting on their butt.
If Hillary does become Pres. You can count on paying at least $100. more a month on the monopolized health care system she so desperately wants.
The issue was not the rate of taxation but the fact that the colonists had no representation. WE elect these clowns and as sovereigns of the nation the responsibility is on our shoulders.We can easily change things within the framework of our system.
Get over it, If you don't wanna pay your taxes. Go live in the bush where you don't use any public services. Oh and if you get killed, it doesn't matter cause you haven't pad for the police force to investigate it.
Use your brain, "a couple of hundred years ago" you didn't 1% of the public services now available. you do the math, tax today is cheap compared to back then. Thats why there was uproar.
Additionally i would suggest you take a course in economics, you'll learn about inflation etc. Then you'll know why the govt takes so much money, otherwise everything would spiral out of control.
Loius the real question is what are essential services that the gvt provides and what are services that are better provided in the private sector ? Excon is right that term limits would be a beneficial step towards the goal of the return of citizen statesmen representing us rather than career politicians .
