Taxing?

If raising taxes were the answer to deficit reduction, shouldn't our country be well into the black? Isn't that a great question, after all how many times has Washington raised our taxes? It's not a complicated issue, raising revenue doesn't lower the burden, cutting back on the paid outs does.

President Calvin Coolidge, who turned the depression of the 1920's into the boon of the roaring 20's, had a few things to say on this matter.......

Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.

There is no dignity quite so impressive, and no one independence quite so important, as living within your means.


Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.

Industry, thrift and self-control are not sought because they create wealth, but because they create character.

Little progress can be made by merely attempting to repress what is evil. Our great hope lies in developing what is good.

No enterprise can exist for itself alone. It ministers to some great need, it performs some great service, not for itself, but for others; or failing therein, it ceases to be profitable and ceases to exist.


To live under the American Constitution is the greatest political privilege that was ever accorded to the human race.


Now Washington, take some notes from a man who had the fruit on the tree. Cut the spending and follow the Constitution. It's a simple recipe.

God Bless!
Capt. Bill
