Growing Free Money on Flowers (Photo credit: epSos.de)
Maybe it is me, but filing my tax return this year was not a particularly happy time. Why is that?
Maybe it is because I paid $2000 more this year than last, and I am lower than the middle class
Maybe it is because I got wildly confused about the forms required.
Maybe it was because it is my yearly review of what I spent.
Maybe it is because even though I paid more tax, I spent less than last year.
Maybe it is because it reminds me of how little fun I had this year because my expenses were mostly housing, food, and gasoline, and not for wine, theater productions, vacations, and great dinners out.
Maybe it is because I gained weight from eating low-cost pasta meals.
Maybe it is because I see what I pay and then hear about the forty-seven percent of the employed who don’t pay taxes.
Maybe it is because I see the élite 535 of our country spending it like it comes from a bottomless pit.
Or, maybe it is because I read a news article about the 9.8 million federal workers who are delinquent paying their taxes.
Maybe it is because I have become a tax-slave.
We wonder why we are such a screwed-up-country. Look at the pile of paper in my tax return. Is that really what a retired old racist white guy should face on a fixed income? Just imagine the pile of paper a Corporation must have to file, then imagine the army of IRS agents needed to analyze all this stuff.
Maybe I am being critical because Obama continues to want even more from us.
Get ready folks., the Tax-man cometh. You really want to punish the rich, but the effect will be on you. The rich will move out of the DIvided States of America and party with the movie stars on the Riviera while we will suffer high gas prices, outrageous food prices, and a lower-income. The rich do not have enough money to pay off the deficit, but we the sheeple collectively do.
It occurred to me today, DUH, that if I have such an aversion to taxation, I should give my pension away and go on welfare, it is the Progressive way.
I can’t express this theme often enough or hard enough, but taxes are evil in the disguise of moral platitude. I began this new president’s term by giving him the benefit of the doubt. I told myself, that as a Christian, I must love my fellow-man. As Obama began to expose himself, I saw the evil in his soul. My early posts as a blogger warned about how I saw him as a socialist, and worse yet, a communist. His slick rhetoric hypnotises the masses with words that roll off his tongue in lyrical melody. The rythmic motion of his head from side to side lulls one into deeper mesmirism. Several times, during his speech at the Nobel Ceremony, I wanted to jump up and shout, “AMEN.”
You bought it, and elected him president. Now, we are all faced with the prospect of re-building America back into a great nation. He has, in twelve very short months, undermined the Constitution upon which the USA achieved greatness. The bottom line is that in twelve months I have grown to despise the man.
I know you all love him, but I don’t understand why. Is it because he is so clean as a family man? So was Tiger Woods. Or is it because he loves his daughters, and his wife? He appears to be a good father too. Well, so am I, and so is nearly every dad I have known in my life. Being a good father should be the norm, not the reason for adulation. The only difference is that this guy is black, and I don’t see too many good black fathers in the news to teach us their values. I know they exist, but what I see most are welfare kids who don’t know who their fathers are. Call me a racist, but that perception is what most Americans have about blacks, and that is why they like Obama so much.
Obama’s drive to redistribute our wealth is placing taxes on everything. He is controlling wages, he wants to control the air you breath, the kind of car you drive, and the doctor who takes care of you. He is giving the infamous ACORN responsibility for over-seeing banks. What? Where did that come from? Barney Frank snuck that little nugget in under the radar of health-care reform, and cap and trade. So all of you kids going for degrees in Finance can kiss your dreams of becoming an overpaid banker goodbye. How about the “Boob-Tax” for all the girls out there who want breast enhancements? What he left out is a “Booby-Tax” for all the people who voted for him. He missed his opportunity on that one. He should have done it while the “hopium” hypnosis was still in effect.
The U.S.A., land of opportunity for the people of the world, is seen by Obama as a colony of ants working their asses off to please the whims of the queen. He is dividing us into two societies: welfare, and tax-enslaved. It is his way of repaying the black half of his race for slavery, and the white half for enslaving his black half.
It’s only served us well for two hundred and twenty two years (1787). Why should we believe that these rules should be followed any longer? POTUS believes it should be a “living document,” i.e. change the rules we live by as society changes. Since amending the Constitution is a long expensive process it needs to have a fast track system. POTUS proposes that the Supreme Court interpret the rules by today’s morals, and the laws of other insignificant countries. This way, we get new laws that are being written, not by the Legislative Branch (because they are not capable nor trustworthy to do so) but by the Judicial Branch because the Supreme Court justices have bigger brains, more ethics, and are less influenced by lobbiests.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence,[1] promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Who needs Justice, Liberty, or Domestic Tranquility? The government will take care of us from cradel to grave. God forbid our Posterity be allowed to enjoy the same freedoms we have enjoyed.
3. Right to bear arms, Second Amendment
Guns taken out of our hands will keep us from killing each other. As a society we will be safer if we give up our guns. It also makes it much easier for a new dictator to take over the country.
This one has worked since Adam and Eve, it is so old it must be a lousy concept. Besides, the gays are left out. Marriage was invented to make parents responsible for the children they bring into the world. In the new world definition, sex is for recreation. Children are something the government will dictate when and how many we have.
The act of procreation is a natural function of our species to bring life into the world, and to ensure the propagation of man. In the new order, new life is something we allow women, and only women to decide to keep. If they chose not to, the population declines. End of life will be determined by the expense of keeping you alive. If it is cost prohibitive, kiss your ass goodbye. If you are a murderer it’s a different story. The death penalty is abolished across all the states. The worst punishment you can receive is to serve your days in happy contentment living off the system.
6. Ten Commandments
In service since Moses accepted them from God. Since God does not exist, the commandments are a hoax. Anyway, they are too old and tired to be of value anymore.
7. GOD
The concept of an eternal being is too radical to believe by some educated minds, therefore all references to God must be eliminated from government and places of education.
The idea that we should depend on our own ability, and energy to survive is a notion that is incomprehensible. Our personal responsibility is delegated to the government.
10. Work
Why?
11. Profit
A dirty word used by capitalists. Profit must be redistributed to the worker.
12. Wealth
A radical right wing concept which must be stamped out. All personal wealth must be redistributed.
Criticism of the government is totally out of place. Why should we have the freedom to express facts, ideas, beliefs, or opinions that may expose corruption, and oppose the government?
How can the government survive if they have to legislate laws to tax us? Senators and Congressmen do not represent us anymore, they are in government to make a living for themselves, and to re-distribute the profits and wealth of others as they see fit.
16. Strong Defense;
What are we afraid of? The world is made up of peace loving people and governments
17. Three Branches of Government
Just listen to the Dictator.
18. Private Sector Jobs
Who needs them? Everybody is taken care of by the government.
