Today was a painful day for me as it probably was for millions of other Americans out there. Thank God most of us only have to go through it once a year. Even though we try to prepare in the days leading up to it, it?s never, ever enough. It?s always an uncomfortable feeling, sometimes even a little painful and you always feel so violated the day after. I could have put it off for a couple of months, but they say it?s always better to just do it and get it over with otherwise it will just come back to haunt you. One thing that really made it much easier is that for a nominal fee you can now get it done right over the internet. Ahhhhhh, the joys of technology! It?s become such a simple and common procedure that I actually decided to let my kids watch this year so they could know what to look forward to when they grow up (hehehe). I think they were a little frightened at first, but I reassured them that as long as Liberal Socialists like Hillary Clinton aren?t running the show, they?ll probably be spared the pain of having to bend over and grab their ankles every April 15th.
Honestly though folks, I don't mind paying some due to Uncle Sam because I know it takes greenback for the gummint to operate. I really don't mind paying some of that burden through income tax or local/federal sales taxes either.......to a reasonable point.
I believe EVERYONE should pay equally into the system. No excuses! I see nothing wrong with paying a small percentage of your earnings (like maybe 5%) into taxes. I mean, for cryin? out loud, to be tithed to the Roman Catholic Church requires 10 freakin' percent of your total income no matter how much or how little you make! And THEY, the folks in the church, are the peeps that are supposed to be responsible for the lion's share of caring for the poor, the homeless, the unemployed, the disparaged and the downtrodden. They are supposed to be the ones who bring charity to the underprivileged by bringing the message of love and hope that faith in God provides. Since when did the gummint become a house of secular worship demanding that those who make little pay none and those who make more pay everything?!?!?! From each according to his means, to each according to his needs????? Yeah, right!
More importantly then that - and here's the bottom line; If I'm gonna tithe to the almighty gummint for 35 FREAKIN? PERCENT OF MY HARD EARNED INCOME, you better believe I want to see some damned accountability for what they spend my money on!!!!!!!
1. I want my hard earned money to pay for the protection of my nation and its borders and kicking the living shit outta anyone who attacks or even threatens the peaceful existence of my country!
2. I want my hard earned money to pay for emergency response people in the community where I live in case my kid falls off his dirt bike and breaks his neck or I total my car from hittin' Mr. Buck-in-heat runnin? across the road after little Miss Doe.
3. I want my hard earned money to pay for police to enforce the laws that protect my constitutional and my God given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
4. I want my hard earned money to pay for community infrastructure (i.e. water/sewer, highway, sanitation, etc.) which allows me and my neighbors to live relatively comfortable lives.
5. I want my hard earned money to pay reasonable salaries to the minimally required number of people needed to oversee the operation of the above mentioned items.
6. And finally, I want my hard earned money to pay for the education that I want my children to have. If the school closest to me isn?t making the grade and serves as nothing more than a processing center for liberal indoctrination, then I should be allowed to get a voucher, yank my kids outta there and place them in a quality school of my choice. Since homeschooling is my preferred choice, I don?t think it?s unreasonable for me to want to use that money to buy the books and schooling supplies needed to accomplish that task on my own.
HOWEVER!!!!!!.............
If you plan on taxing the shit outta me to pay for a bunch of Fraudian know-it-alls and utopian socialists to indoctrinate my kids into Godless, socialist, and communist ways of thinking, pay for special interest groups like the homos, the tree huggers, the baby killers, the feminazis, et al, and then make it harder for me to enjoy the freedoms granted to me by my maker and the founding fathers of my great nation.........
........THEN YOU CAN TAKE YOUR REDICULOUS COMMIE TAX CODE AND SHOVE IT RIGHT WHERE THE PROCTOLOGIST MAKES HIS LIVING!
Great Post, and GREAT SITE!!! Fair Tax is the way to go.
ReplyDeleteI think you are a great writer and do so much for the betterment of our great country.
Another good site pointed out that it is being said that conservative bloggers are misleading ideologs and that left wing blogs are factual ways to get the truth accross.
According to Bob the anti-American, we are all " Rightwing-Nutjob-Bloggers."
I called him on the mat and exposed his treasonous diatribe, Since he won't
allow comments on his own blog.I am rallying the troops at mine.
WOW! That's the best compliment I've gotten so far:) TNX Ken. I’m glad to see we’re in this fight together. Although I've slowed up in recent days due to circumstances beyond my control, I do try to get in at least one meaningful post every day if not every other day. Despite my passion for punditry, I've come to the realization that I love to spend time with my family much more. My kids are my vocation and they will always be more important than this silly web site. To me, this place is more like my punching bag where I can take out my frustrations and while it’s become more difficult for me to devote the time needed to write and Photoshop pictures like I have in the past, it continues work as pretty good medicine.
