A Taxing Situation!

Does anyone else feel like they are living in Bizarro World? The freest Nation in the world is proposing to tax itself in excess of what Socialist countries pay. There is currently legislation on the table to increase tax rates for the wealthy above 50% of their earnings. Socialist France and Germany are in the 45% bracket.

Freedom, what we represent, is about having choices. If you have a dollar in your pocket, you have a dollar's worth of options. If the Federal Government taxes 1/2 of that dollar and you now have fifty cents, you have 1/2 as many options, or 1/2 as much freedom. Every time anyone in this Republic is subject to a tax increase our freedom is diminished.

We are forfeiting our liberty in the name of security. Washington has deemed it acceptable to sacrifice the independence our forefathers fought for by making us inter dependant on social programs. Legislators have no business in health care nor the energy business. Their job description is defined in the Constitution. No where in that document is this implied. The Federal Government is usurping it's authority and destroying the principles this Nation was founded upon.

Healthcare is a problem in this nation? Fine, let's use the Constitution as it was intended. Protect the people from the malicious, that's in the Constitution! Punish the price gougers, hold the abusers of the court systems accountable for frivolous law suits, and use the powers as granted in this wonderful document. That's the intentions of our founders and the path to preserving our freedom and protecting our citizens.

Supplying health care services to our less fortunate is the job of church and charity. We have many great organizations serving in that capacity, the Shriners, and the Lions club for instance. Philanthropy will flourish if the Federal Government gets their hands out of our pockets. We are the most charitable Nation in the world, we prove it every time there is a need. Supplying the Nation with a Government programs to redistribute wealth is a page right out of The Communist Manifesto.

Do you enjoy having choices? Is this not the best health care system in the world? Don't other countries citizens come here for treatment of medical problems because we have the best? Where will these people go? Complain loudly people! They are trying to ruin our health care system and take away your choices. If we need a better mousetrap, let the private sector develop it. Don't sacrifice freedom for security.

God Bless

  1. It's ironic because of over taxing we had a Revolution and founded this country.
    Now the same thing is happening all over again.
    The difference is this time around is we can lose every thing that meas our freedom.
    It seem everybody is waiting for someone else to start the revolution.
    In other words we're waiting for someone to do the fighting for us.
    Well your wrong this time we have to fight for our selves..
    Yeah that's right you have to do something because if you don't do it now when you finally see what's going on it will be to late to do any thing.
    Get out of your comfort zone and call your senator, congressman, Governor, Mayor, City counsels,
    anyone that will listen.
    This is how we can fight for our selves
    Not by violence but by have our voices heard.
    You voice is as good as a loud canon.
    Your voice will hit the target every time.
    This is a Revolution we won the first time and we will win again by using our army's of voices

    Thank you for your time.
