Making something simple more difficult

And this surprises you, Mark?

This is standard operating procedure for all levels of government.

Government "leaders" (I use the term very loosely) run the government as "us against them". Guess who the "them" are? Yep, us good old TAX PAYERS.

They do everything they can to waste tax money on anything that it can possibly be spent for, with the mentality of "if we don't spend it ALL this year, we won't be get as much in our budget for next year". After all, its not coming out of THEIR checking account, is it?

(Yes, I know…some of them do pay taxes, but they certainly aren’t paying much of what they are spending and the rest is coming from all of the rest of us! And remember, those taxes they do pay, that money is coming out of salaries that WE have already paid OUR tax money to cover! So who is REALLY paying the bill here?)

And, my goodness, how much effort they put into justifying "projects" and "costs" of just keeping the government running, because it does SO MUCH FOR US!

While everyday Americans are losing jobs, losing homes, and losing their dreams, the mob-boss mentality running our governments continue to tax and spend like we are drowning in money!

And just where is this tax money going? It must take a lot of money to pay the salaries of some of these "big dogs" in the government, since none of it seems to be going towards paying down debts for projects already callously loaded on the backs of the tax payer (hence the need for a new SPLOST!) nor is it going to pay for roads and bridges and other IMPORTANT infrastructure (hence the need for the T-SPLOST that has been such a big news maker lately!).

And yet, even with all of the SPLOST and T-SPLOST and what ever else they want to rename the additional new TAXES, the rest of the taxes already in place continue to go up and up and up and UP!

You know, as a person who actually WORKS for a living, and who has to pay these property taxes, vehicle taxes, sales taxes, income taxes, SPLOST, and all kinds of government fees any time I need to do anything out of my ordinary, every day life, I have to work within my means. I can't spend more than I bring in.

But not the government, oh no! If they want something, they just invent a new tax. Or raise a current tax. Or raise the fees. Or create a new fee.

I wonder how much longer I'll be able to breathe the air with out having to pay a fee to the city, county, state and Federal governments???

I guess it won't matter much longer, because sooner or later, these blood suckers are going to figure out that they've killed the last of their "cattle" and will begin to starve to death themselves.

It will be too late for most of us, their “enemy”, the tax payer, but at least it will be some small amount of poetic justice.
