Here's a scenario for you. You are walking down the street. A man comes around the corner and points a gun at you and demands your wallet/purse. He opens your wallet and takes out 50% of your money and gives your wallet back before taking off.
After getting over the shock of him taking only half your money, what do you do?
Do you stand there and say to yourself: well he's going to use the money he stole from me to pay his sick mother's health care bills?
How about: he's going to use the money he stole from me to give to a homeless person?
No. You call the cops and report the crime and hope he's caught before he can rob someone else. You feel violated and afraid to go out again.
How is this different from what the government does to your paycheck every week?
I have an answer for you: you'll probably never see that man with the gun again, but you can bet your bottom that the government will be back again next week to rob you again.
Wealth distribution is legalized theft and you allow it by voting liberals into office that push harder and harder for this. And now with Obama and Pelosi and crew, it's gonna into overdrive.
Yes, the government needs to tax to pay for certain things. However these certain things are things that should benefit every American. The military is something that needs to be paid for that benefits every American. And it's pretty much one of the only things the federal government should be taxing you for to pay for.
But the last few decades we've allowed the federal government to rob us to pay for things we'll never see a dime of return in. Everybody paying taxes to fund a bill that pays for removing tattoos of gang members (one of the many provisions in the "Stimulus" package) is certainly worthy isn't it? I don't know where you live, but we don't have gangs here. I shouldn't have to pay for gang tattoo removal. If you live somewhere that has a problem with gangs and want to give your money away so they can have their tattoos removed, go for it. But I say: I'd rather spend that money on food, clothing or the heating bill, thanks.
And this is just one small example. One of these days trying logging on to the Congressional web site and try actually reading some of these bills they write up and pass. You can see some of the outrageous things your tax dollars are being spent on. Stop being ignorant and apathetic. Get involved. Make a difference. You could be amazed at how low our taxes would be if just the waste spending alone was eliminated.
