Taxes

							Taxes, Only the Rich Pay
It looks like people would catch on after a while. Every election year
for at least the last forty years we have heard the same old rhetoric
from the left. We're going to raise the taxes on only the rich, give
every one else huge sums of money and benefits, vote for me and you will
be living in the land of milk and honey.
Get Real!! How many times do people have to hear this before it FINALLY
soaks in, there are no free lunches! When Incomes taxes were first
implemented around the turn of the 20th century, the same technique was
used. The idea was sold to the public,that only the very few rich would
pay. How long did that last? Now almost a hundred years later,they same
old , same old is still being sold to the American public. Wise UP!!
Some politicians, in the never ending quest for votes, try to create
victims and make people dependent on government. Instead of trying to get
the populous to improve themselves and achieve more, they want to make
the citizens feel dependent on government thereby creating a need for all
of the giveaways supplied by politicians, thereby creating a dependency,
thus we as the common folk, can't live without them. There is no problem
, that with the governments involvement ,can't be made worse.
When President Bush gave everyone a tax break, I heard and am still
hearing that only the rich received a tax break, I am far from being
wealthy, I received a tax break! Amazing!!! Sure the poor got no
reduction in taxes, they don't pay taxes. How can a person receive a tax
break when no taxes are paid. A refund on zero is zero, plain and simple.
If they were to receive a refund, it would be welfare, not a tax break.
I realize there are times when an individual can experience hard times
and need assistance. There is nothing wrong with that, it can happen to
anyone. During these times individuals, civic groups, religious
organizations and the government should assist in any way possible . But
this help isn't meant to be a pension and go on for generations. Once
assistance is no longer needed, it should be with drawn. You will find
that many times the debt is repaid by this person by helping someone else
in distress.
It seems to me the people that swallow this philosophy are jealous of
every one whom they perceive to have more than they do. Rather than going
out and working to achieve more, thereby elevating themselves financially
and personally, they would just take from someone who already has it, it
is easier that way. However if everyone would feel that way, soon no one
would be working to advance themselves, why should they. It is much
easier to let someone else work and pay the bills.
That is not the ideals that America was founded on.
I was always taught that if I wasn't happy with the life situation I find
myself, it was necessary and my responsibility to work and change my
environment myself, that is what I have always done, sometimes it takes a
lot of hard work and time, but it can be done. Embarking on this journey,
success isn't always attained instantaneously, however , the lessons
learned will eventually lead us to accomplishing our goals . This is a
lot more rewarding than sitting around waiting for a government handout
and thus becoming dependent on some bureaucrat who only has his best
interests at heart.
