Taxes keep going up but few of our social problems are being solved. We still
have
the poor, our schools are still falling apart, we still don't have enough
police, our governments, federal, state and local, are over budget and
millions of American families are struggling to make ends meet. Show us some
real benefits for our tax dollars and we might be more willing to pay our
taxes.
For example: The lottery in California was going to give us great schools.
We don't have them. The outrageous tax on cigarettes was supposed to take our
state budgets into the black. They are still running in the red. Casinos are
sprouting up like mushrooms and pouring money into the government coffers. What
do we have to show for this massive flow of cash? Not much.
We have given them our credit cards and they (the government) are having a
blast with them. What amazes me is not that the government is doing what humans
have always done - - it is how complacent our middle class is about the
confiscation of their hard earned dollars.

You don't getit.
Government does not solve problems.
It makes more while draining real wealth and charity from workers.
For every dollar "we" give the gooberment, 30 cents goes to whatever
"cause" it is earmarked. 70 cents get's eaten by the Beast.
