Look at what happened with taxes. It started as something simple, where everyone had one simple tax that they paid. Easy and simple, everyone paid all was good. Then federal income tax, the state income tax, sales tax, property tax, utility tax, luxury tax, import tax, business tax, anything that makes money or any bill that you pay out gets taxed.


I dont think that taxing the shit out of everyone in this country was the plan when this country was formed. "No taxation with out representation" You know how many taxes get passes without anybodies knowledge ? Or all the taxes that get stuffed into bills with titles like "save our planet" or "save the trees"? Every fucking bill that gets passed taxes the shit out of the people and lines the pockets of people that have no right to our tax dollars. If people really knew in detail, where their tax dollars went, this country would be up in arms.


Anytime the government wants more control of anything, i pause with concern. Just look at our governments history with promises.


Thats all... sorry about standing on the soap box.
thank god some people still stop and think.

what does govt do properly EVER!?

NOTHING!

anything they touch turns into a complete shit storm. i have no idea why people are ok with giving people who have no business being in power more power. IN ANY WAY.
