Time to Render Unto Caesar

Well it is that time again. The government fat cats are demanding our money again. Now don't get me wrong, they do our money to defend our country and support the basic infrastructure of the nation. The problem is the only people they demand the money from are those of us who are stupid enough to work for a 'living' - and I use the word living very loosely.

So what if we all just stopped working? Total chaos would ensue. And why? Because the government is so dependent upon the workers because the non-workers are so dependent on the government. So the non-workers are dependent upon the workers, not the government.

So if we cut out the middle man, in this case the government, the workers could take of the non-workers more efficiently and effectively. If I buy $100 worth of food and give it to a needy family, the family gets $100 worth of food. They are happy and I am happy that I could help. But the govements takes "by force" $100 from my paycheck and then by the time the pay for all that overhead, that poor family my get $10.

Now before you go all nuts on me, no I do not have the exact numbers or the breakdown of how my tax dollar is broken down - but neither do you unless you may be part of the aforementioned overhead. And your government doesn't want you to know.

Any way I think it is time that we, as individuals, care for our brothers instead of letting the governmental machine do it.

Raise My Taxes, Please!

Are your elected officials (local and federal) taking more of your pay check than you like? Then you need to let them know about it. You can’t just sit around and complain about it – you must take action. Taxes are increased because someone takes action and goes to those in office with a request for something that cost money and then they are promised votes in exchange for this new item. But we all pay for this additional item via taxes.

  1. If you are not registered to vote – REGISTER NOW! Politicians, for the most part, do not care about you - only your vote. If you are not registered to vote and you call or write them they will check the voter registration and if they don’t see your name, you will likely get no response.
  2. Write and call the people in office and tell them you expect to see them take an active and visible role in reducing taxes – or they don’t get your vote.
  3. Encourage every eligible voter that you know to do the same. Hand out sample letters so all they have to do is sign it and mail it.
  4. Educate every eligible voter that you know how to contact there elected official.
