When is it enough? (My Rant)

[wrigleycub]

It's not that I'm against paying my way or my fair-share of taxes. But it always seems like it's just a constant beatdown. I think it would be an interesting experiment to keep track of every single tax that is paid starting with your paycheck. It would be very interesting to see how much is paid into taxes on every dollar you make and spend.

Check out fairtax.org they lay it out pretty well, at least in the book.

On average, today caps the cost of the Federal government.

The total cost of government - fed, state, local - is set to fall in late August or early September this year.

That is, for the average wage earner in the United States, all of his income up to August was spent to support various levels of government.

Americans, on average, pay more in taxes than they spend on food, clothing, and shelter combined.

This has to stop, at what point will it?

Not until "We The People" decide we have had enough and take back our country!

It won't happen. The majority of people are blindly going through the motions. You can tell by the idiots that keep getting elected that the majority of people doesn't really care if there ever is change. Too many people vote like American Idol. If you have pretty hair, a nice face, and an expensive suit...you too can be the President or a Congressman. It helps if you have a really shady past (maybe drugs, jail time, cheat on your wife...something that will grab headlines).

Taxes are a way to keep society in debt to their government and in turn make the government more powerful. It's a crime the amount they take from us.
