Taxation without Representation
When Barack Obama just announced he would tax more of wages to put more money into the Ponzi scheme that is social security, what he did was announce that he did not believe in the Constitution. Yep. Because using the people without their consent is what he wants to do. Steal your money. Congress is quite adept at stealing your money. The purpose of the Federal government is to provide for the common defense- and kick in some dough for the interstate highway system. And look at what has happened. They have become a monstrous cancer that no longer responds to the voter. Now even a political candidate thinks NOTHING of saying he can take more of YOUR money to fix a problem. Money never fixes problems- unless they are with your car. Solutions fix problems - and MORE money is hardly ever the solution. Sane thinking, policy revisions, and voter approval should be the order of the day in ALL politics. I am sick and tired of paying taxes. Tons of taxes. I am taxed on everything I touch and so are you. At some point, the people who work the hardest, went to school the longest, have the most experience and drive will have no more income. And with that will come no more drive. It will benefit you to divest yourself of everything you own, put it into tax free bonds and never pay tax again. If you run out of money, get other people to pay for you. That is what taxes are for now. To make you pay for other people and other states and other countries. When you pay property tax, you pay for other people's children to get poor educations and special education and have all their special needs met (regardless of that cost to children who can be educated), when you pay gas tax you pay for roads and bridges that have never been built, when you elect a Congressman you have someone who will get a retirement package that boggles the mind, and YOU pay for it. Now Obama, rather than respecting the incredible effort that goes into everyday labor- be it mental or physical- wants YOU to pay more and more. First more for social security then more for the "working poor" and then without the line item veto, roads in Massachusetts and subsidies for corn farmers and free jet rides for lobbyists. This is what we have come to. So Barack, I hope Americans can now see how little you think of them. How unimaginative you are- how party line, how full of crap. I am glad the University of Chicago cleared up your claim of having been a law professor. I saw you get a little bit of your lying self dragged over the coals by Tim Russert. You want more money for social security? Well, you can't HAVE it. You and everyone in Washington has such a blatant disregard for your citizenry. You are arrogant and presumptuous to think we will swallow more taxes. Americans don't feel represented anymore. And it's time for Congress people to stop acting like it is their show, because it isn't. It is OURS- the people of the United States. But we have grown so used to just "paying up" that we don't notice. It's TIME to notice.
