We have a government that needs to go on a CRASH DIET. Every time they raise taxes, there is less money in the pool to keep the economy going. Every time they spend money, they raise taxes to cover it. Not just the income taxes, but also the hidden taxes you can find on your phone bill and such. The whole tax system needs to be restructured. The current structure is entirely outdated from back in the 40s.
And, how does it make you feel when the President of the United States tells the public, on national television, " FAILURE SHALL NOT BE REWARDED". Yet, look at what AIG did after the bailouts. Execs got billions in bonuses... For failure?
We have a government that has grown 30% in just the first year. And, look at where it has grown. Take a good look at who gets to pay that $3.7 billion. The same people that can not afford to pay now.
And, take a look too, at the mortgage bailouts. Did you know that the average money spent on a single home that was bailed out is $871,000? Just whose homes are getting bailed out anyway? Certainly not those at my income level. I'm about willing to bet there is not one single member of this board with a home up in that level. So, who is getting the benefit and who is getting the bill?
