There will come a time ( and it's rapidly approaching) when I either can't or won't listen or read the news anymore. It seems like "our goverment" just doesn't care about what "we the people" want or the direction we want our country heading. Everyone I talk to is unhappy with what's happening i.e. seeming unending bailouts, bigger and bigger government, more and more intrusions into our everyday lives, higher taxes and freebies for people who don't earn them.
Have you ever heard of "Earned Income Credit"? It's proper name should be UNearned income credit! Individuals in this country with low incomes and actually get MORE tax refund money than they paid in! An example is a neice of mine, she has kids. She earns above minimum wage but not by much. She can't qualify for any type of Gov't assistance and she pays approx. $400.00 a year in federal taxes (that is $$ taken from her paycheck). When she files her income tax, she qualifies for earned in credit and get back about $5000.00 each year. That's right....way more than she puts in. I think that everyone in this country should pay (even a nominal amount) towards the running of this country....I don't care if it's $1.00 a month..contribute SOMETHING.
I guess that ends my rant for now..If you read this..thanks
