Can I keep a crumb?
We payed a lot of taxes today. It costs my family $10 dollars a day in property taxes for the privilege of living in my town. I payed $11.75 in taxes to fill the gas tank in the jeep; That is $.184 per gallon for the feds and $.235 per gallon for the Peoples Republic on 28 gallons. Pack of cigarettes; $2.51 for The Peoples Republic and $.39 for the feds, and oh yeah we pay additional 5% in state sales tax on that tax (double jeopardy?). Throw the $.08 on the cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee and I'm in the hole for $24.88 before I even hit the highway. If I'm lucky enough to avoid any other purchases during the day, I get out of work having paid $24.34 to the federal government (so someone else can refinance their house that they should not have bought), $10.62 to Taxachusetts (so they can NOT fix any of our roads or bridges), $3.87 for Medicare (such a shining pillar of government run healthcare), and $16.54 for social security (that I will most likely never see a penny of). Add on the nickels and dimes of cell phone tax (over 10 cents a day), tax on your cable bill, tax on your electric bill, heating oil or gas bill, and I'm well over $85.00 a day in taxes. $85.00 per day, and now my town tells my wife that they won't take our recyclables unless we buy their $3.00 a piece trash bags. Hey at least Obama's tax calculator is going to "give" us back $6.40 per working day, I can't wait to get that tax burden down to just $80.00 a day!!!!!!
LIBERTY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
