Good evening “TAXPAYERS”!
In case you forgot if you’re a little “short” right now, if you can’t afford to send that beloved child of yours to that “special” school, or if you can’t get those credit card balances down or if you’re beginning to feel lost when your personal monthly bills roar in, or if etc., etc., etc.; just remember that you are paying people not to work; you are paying your hard earned dollars to send a USA standard of living to people you don’t even “know about”. You are supporting public servants, public employees, and public bureaucrats to maintain a standard of living you, even you, can’t afford.
With your dollars you are supporting regulations, laws ,and rules that are destroying your motivation, your businesses, and the fabric of your families. YOU are paying for all of this!
There is no such thing as “ENTITLEMENTS”! You are paying your money so that the government , (those guys you did or didn’t bother to vote for) can give away your money to people and programs “they” decided were GOOD for YOU!
They decided to give your money to people who rebuild houses and businesses in the flood plains, when the flood, indeed, predictably destroys everything in its path every four years or so; or;…. near oceans and have their properties blown down every three or four years. It is “your” money that helps people rebuild when they choose this “expensive view lot” in a fire hazard. You pay for people who want to live and enjoy the ocean and river views. It is your money that pays to have them rebuild in the same stupid area..
You pay for the “human” breeders who create life with absolutely no idea or concern about “WHY”. People with no idea of the meaning of the word “responsibility”, with no idea about “plans for the future”, with no idea why they have a “litter”.
You, my “Taxpaying Friends” are paying for these things whether you agree or disagree.
You are at the mercy of what was once known as “responsible Government”. It’s all changed! A few, a very few, are trying their darndest to fight for sanity, for logic, for reason. Many of these few have quit the Government in despair, disgust, and in the realization that the government is now a separate entity from the people. The government seems to be in business for itself. They are protecting their salaries, their reelection, their “perks”, and their seeming unlimited protection from “accountability”.
We now have the new “POLITICS”. The politics of polls, of selected focus groups. The politics of “gotta’ keep my job and my perks No matter what!! This is the “politics of politics”. Yes, it has changed. This type of politics leaves you, the Taxpayer, out! Your concerns are taking a backseat to “gotta’ keep my perks “NO MATTER WHAT”!
Just remember......
The only money the government spends is YOUR money!!!!!!
The money YOU PAY in taxes!!!!!!
The money the government takes from you, the Taxpayer!!!!
If the Government spends more than they get from you (by the way that’s called “the DEFICIT”), they just print I.O.U’s!! (and,by the way, they’re called BONDS).. These Government BONDS say that if someone gives the Government hard cash “now”.for these pieces of paper, you, (yes all of you taxpayers) will guarantee to pay these I.O.U’s. back in the future, with interest.
The total of all these promises and guarantees made, in the past and in the present, is called the “NATIONAL DEBT”.It is now, almost $5500 billion dollars worth!!!.....(By the way that’s $5 1/2 trillion dollars worth!!!)
But in case you didn’t make the connection, this is now referred to as “having your grandchildren pay for it!” After all, your grandchildren will be the only Taxpayers around to pay the interest and principle on these I.O.U.’s (Bonds, that is!)
(This is also politely referred to as “mortgaging our future”! In other words, who is left to pay this future debt, this so called “mortgage on our country”?)
Right now my young friends, we all work until May of each year for the Government. The total sum of all of the money you earn from January to May goes to the Government to pay off it’s expenses; the bureaucrat salaries; their wonderful special health plan; their “perks and special privileges”; their gifts to the “non-working; their gifts to the “illegitimates”; their gifts to the “illegals”; the costs of the “unelected” staffs and attorney firms that draw up the rules and regulations; and, oh yes, if anything is left over, the necessary and vital costs of the defense, the legal system, the highway systems, etc. that are indeed the machinery of a responsible Government.
The problem is that they are all mixed up in a huge, thousand page document called the “BUDGET”. It contains accounting tricks that pay things “over a length of time”, “offsets”, “off-budget items”, etc. after etc
It takes a staff of thousands to put it all together and I, for one, can’t possibly understand it. But what you will understand, and believe me you’ll have a very good understanding of it, is what the ultimate cost to you is! You’ll know when they increase your taxes.
When you realize that you will be working for the Government through June, (yes , from January through June), and the total of all the money you earn, all the risks you take, all the things you can’t afford just to pay for all the “gifts” you are forced to give because they are now in the “Budget”; then maybe, just
maybe, you’ll begin to finance and support the various groups and individuals that are trying to do something!
There are groups of citizens, honestly concerned citizens, that have the time and expertise to leverage their voting influence to help control these outright “gifts” and phony political financial programs that are used to gain local political votes to keep “my guy” in office.
But how do I know which groups and which specific persons to believe in?
How can I be sure?
This I know!....
If you do nothing, you can be sure things will be the same!!!!
If you do something, you can be sure things might be different!!
WHAT’S THE SUCCESSFUL ALTERNATIVE??
