TAXES, GOVERNMENT HAND-OUTS & BAIL-OUTS!Posted Sunday, December 12, 2010, at 10:31 AM
As far as the "Bush" tax credits are concerned, I know that if the tax cuts were not extended, the people would once again be sucked dry. History has taught us, over and over again, that the people will put up with an oppressive government or leader for just so long and then it usually leads to violent revolt. I have experienced this feeling of being bled dry for the past few years. I have worked a large number of days to pay the IRS alot of money. I have paid my part and like all of us, deserve a voice in how my money is spent! I can only give so much before I have to take a stand and say, NO MORE! History also teaches us that when taxes are low, the country flourishes! People with more money will stimulate the economy far more than government hand-outs! The people can save the economy not the "powers-that-be"!!! People who owe their living to a government become bitter and ashamed which leads to a hatred of the entity that is giving the hand-outs. People who work for their money and take care of their own families without outside help are stronger, happier people with a pride that they have acheived what they have because of their hard work. Work is good! Hard work is good for the soul of man. Those who live off others, are enslaved, in bondage to that entity. No person can be happy as long as they are under the thumb of an authority that disguises itself as a helpful entity. Charity between people is wonderful. Government assistance will enslave! Believe it or not! Take it or leave it! These are the thoughts I have to rant about today. What are yours? Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] |
I've lived in Mtn Home for over 20 years. I love my city and my country. Since I am a writer, my decision to blog here seemed appropriate. I enjoy acting so I've been blessed with the opportunity to work on some independent films and with Prairie Dog Productions and Bogus Creek Ranch. I hope that something I have to write about has some value for others or just amuses someone.

ill be there when it all goes violent.
We the People,.... by the people, for the people and of the people. It starts with local elections. Sheriff, school board, council and local representatives. What is their position before they are elected? Then hold them accountable. Congress is responsible and we are responsible for electing congress. Hard to believe that California will not stay on the public dole and the US will not address the national debt without us (we the people) forcing them to deal head on with the issues. As long as the "I got mine" philosophy continues no change is in sight.
You won't be out there alone, Zombie. You'll have PLENTY of company!
Government is not a cure-all, but it is not useless either. I've always thought the idea of government medical coverage is so if you CAN'T pay, you won't get sick and die. What's bad about that?
Ultimately, though, if we don't want government to do that, then we should do it ourselves, which means others helping those in need instead of seeing them as lazy bums. And helping as long as is necessary, many years even if it takes that -- as long as that person is truly needy. And that also means that companies MUST change the way they do things, to ensure people can get jobs that pay enough to be able to get at least the basic needs INCLUDING medical. That is, to ensure EVERYONE can do that. Everyone *deserves* that. Not many are asking for the 5-6 McMansions and 10 cars of the "rich", etc.! It also means companies should be required to divulge every reason they did not hire someone, etc. It also means we should terminate all outsourcing and bring all the jobs back here from stupid China.
There's a major difference between those who can't work, and those who WON'T.
The handouts to the illegals must STOP.
Government pork, and spending outside of this country must STOP.
Government Expansion must STOP.
Government never GAVE anybody ANYTHING, it didn't take from somebody else FIRST, so before we start coming up with all these "ingenious" comprimises that we hear so much of...........the FIRST thing we need to do is PULL the government's
Credit Card.
Of course, that would mean voting ALL of the crooks out, not just SOME of them, and while November looked promising------it's clear that we STILL can't collectively bring ourselves to vote out some of our old "household names," can we!
It is THEY who have put us in this trick. It is THEY who have "borrowed" us into the hole. I hear this "greed" thing all the time--------doesn't compute to me. I don't live beyond my means, keep ONE credit card for "emergencies" and can pay it off anytime I choose. I drive an old Volkswagen and we don't book cruises or Carribean vacations we can't afford..........our POLITICIANS do THAT, and charge it to US! THAT's where the GREED is.............banks who KNOWINGLY entice people into buying mansions, when they can barely afford an apartment.....
And government-run "healthcare?"
Mike3, you may or may not know this.........not everybody does, but several years ago, the government took over the famous "Mustang Ranch" brothel in Sparks Nevada, complete with liquor license as well, and in short order, it went out of business.
I don't know your thoughts on this, but from MY perspective, if you can't run a CATHOUSE and BAR for a profit---------I don't want you involved in my next MRI!--------------And THIS government couldn't run a lemonade stand!
NOBODY is going to make any outsourcing stop, as long as we are BENT on putting most of this tax burden on the people who manufacture and hire. I wouldn't stay here EITHER, if I wanted to stay in business.
The Federal Reserve, which is no more "Federal" than Federal Express, needs to end as well, along with their "red-headed" children in the IRS. Did you know, that the Government Accounting Office did an audit on the Internal Robbing Service, and THEY COULDN'T PASS THEIR OWN AUDIT. 1992. MILLIONS of dollars THEY couldn't acccount for!
No action was taken, but if they audited YOU, and figured you owed THEM a hundred bucks, you'd better cough it up right now!
California is sending "IOU's" in-place of refunds to its taxpayers. Do ya suppose the TAXPAYERS could send "IOU's" if THEY owed the state?
This country should go back to the tariff system. You pay taxes on what you buy! Period.
My wife told me yesterday, that she heard they were taking a 4-day weekend off, back in D.C. I replied to her, "THAT'S GREAT NEWS, HONEY!!.......Everytime our congress is NOT in session, it's good for the country!
