I HAVE NO PROBLEM
PAYING TAXES. I’M AN
ADULT AND THAT’S PART OF THE DEAL!
The
real deal is you are a dolt, who probably does not have a clue about
where and how the bulk of the money you pay in taxes is spent, nor
how those taxes cripple our economy.
I
HAVE NO PROBLEM PAYING TAXES ROADS DON’T PAVE THEMSELVES!
Few
Americans understand a simple fact: annually, taxpaying Americans pay
hundreds of billions of dollars more than is required to keep all our
roads paved and in good shape.
Still,
however, we have deteriorating roads from one end of our country to
the other. In fact, the US infrastructure is creaking in every state
of our union.
About
one-third of our roads are in sub-standard condition.
We
even have 4,095 dams that are at risk of failing.
Many
of our freeways, harbors, transit systems, bridges, rail lines,
buildings, sewers, electrical grids, atomic power plants, and water
treatment facilities are falling apart, with hundreds of billions of
dollars of long deferred maintenance.
The
World Economic Forum ranks America’s infrastructure as twenty-third
amongst all nations.
All
this decay is occurring in spite of confiscatory taxes on individual
hard-working American citizens.
Nevertheless,
there seems to be no limit to the amount of money our government will
spend on destroying the infrastructures of Middle Eastern nations.
WAR
ISN’T FREE!
PAY
YOUR TAXES, TEABAGGERS!
No,
war is not free. Its costs, however, far exceed its financial drain
on our US economy. Because of its loss of life, its destruction of
infrastructures, its foul poisoning of the world’s environment,
and the rabid enemies we are making around the world, wars have costs
far beyond what is easily imaginable.
For
every so-called terrorist we kill with a drone, we create thousands
of new enemies. For every mother and child we burn to death with our
bombs, we create many more of new enemies, all with a growing hatred
of us and our constant war on humanity.
Meanwhile,
back in America where our public resources are still being squandered
in perpetual wars on defenseless nations, the nescient of our
country continue buying the big lie: We
have to make enemies around the world in order to maintain our
nation’s security.
This
broadly promoted conventional narrative is imposed on us from the
Democrats (promoters
of high taxes,
sodomy, and baby killings)
and the Republicans (defenders
of fractional reserve lending, usury, and compound interest), thus
we are prevented a clear view of the reality that could end the
madness.
Why
have Americans allowed taxes on their income, while at the same time
acquiesced to their government’s deficient spending? Any people
that would allow that has long lost their ability to ensure a
prosperous society.
Additionally,
there are sales, property, estate, gift, pet, vehicle, telephone,
food, drink, inheritance, marriage, utility taxes, and about
thirty-five more.
The
highest tax of all, however, is inflation which is caused by “our”
irresponsible government’s deficient spending primarily for
wars.
Inflation,
which will only get worse, has brought down the buying power of the
1913 dollar to three pennies.
No
longer can young couples do what my aunt and uncle did: they bought a
beautiful, spacious two-story home within walking distance of a
church, a theater, two drug stores, a grocery-deli market, a library,
and a high school, for $6,500. And, they could walk to these
conveniences with without any fear of the street crimes “our”
government’s inflation and taxes have helped to bring into
existence.
Yes,
wage earners are paid more today than they were prior to 1913, when
there were no income taxes at all; but much of that great difference
is lost with a communist plank in the US Tax Code: the
Progressive Income Tax
which allows the government to tax us at a higher rate the more
income we earn.
And
then, of course, the rest of today’s increased wages are dwarfed by
the government’s continual generation of inflation.
Why
have Americans allowed “their” government to steal so much money
from them, which has been used to destroy so much life, liberty, and
happiness, not only in our country, but across the world?
Could
ignorance be the answer? If so, how ignorant are the ignorant?
