Tax Freedom Day is the first day of the year in which a nation as a whole has theoretically earned enough income to fund its annual tax burden. - Wikipedia
I was listening to Paul Harvey (Ron Chapman filling in) today. He said that the American taxpayer pays more in taxes than we do for food, clothing, and housing combined. I mentioned what I had heard from Ron this morning to Gina and she said, "Why isn't somebody doing something about this?" You've got me Gina...you've got me.
My bookkeeper told me last year that "if you can pay your taxes - you can stay in business." It's the truth. It's amazing what a small business has to pay out in local, state and federal taxes. The government has become the biggest obstacle for the survival of small business.

we are an entitlement society and when you have that many people wanting to suckle at the government teat....well, it takes heaps of wampum to keep the milk flowing. Government is too big and too intrusive into our lives. I don't need governemnt telling me that I need to buckle up. Or those insane commercials that have to tell us that we as parents really should talk to our kids.
I feel like a misplace alien who has fallen to a planet full of snobs and elietest societal goobers, who know better than anyone else and whose sole duty is to "Change" our country. the thing that scares me is what they are wanting to change it too...
Sorry for the rant...

“Tyrannical taxation, and excessive government spending and borrowing, are not only threats to our economy—they erode the resource base of our freedom and our moral responsibility. The income tax is a 20th-century socialist experiment that has failed. Before the income tax was imposed on us just 85 years ago, government had no claim to our income. Only sales, excise and tariff taxes were allowed. We need to return to the Constitution of economic liberty that our Founders intended to be a permanent bulwark of our political liberty. The income tax in effect makes us vassals of the government—the politicians decide how much income we can keep. No mere ‘reform’ of this slave tax, such as flattening the rate, can correct its fundamental denial of control over our own money.”
