No Tax Tuesday: Why Vote for More Taxes?

Happy No Tax Tuesday to you all. The question for the day is: Why vote for a party that's only answer to any problem is to tax us more? The absurdity is that although they always claim it is about everyone "paying their fair share" and "investing" in the future it is really just about the "redistribution of wealth." The problem is I am not wealthy and the money just goes to an ever growing government bureaucracy.

Jerry Brown keeps babbling about Meg Whitman wanting to help herself out by wanting to curb the capital gains tax. I don't know if J Brown knows this, but, you do not have to be "rich" to pay capital gains taxes. To me, the less you make the more it hurts to have to pay a capital gains tax. I mean, why should someone making $30k or less a year have to pay taxes on the measly 2.squat interest they get on their personal savings account? That is big government greed and political deception.

How about the death tax? One source says the annual average for a 4 person family is about $63k a year. So, you "invest" in your home and leave it to your children. The government has a right to up to 40% of your estate. Again, I ask, wouldn't that hurt the average American more than the "rich"? Of course, but, the Democrats are screaming bloody murder that taxation is about making the "rich" pay their fair share.

Everyday I drive my car to work just like many working Americans. Once a week, maybe more or less depending on how fortunate you are to work near home or not. About $0.63 per gallon goes to taxes. Again, I ask, does $25 look bigger to the average working American or to the "rich"? I can do a lot with $25. By the way, I have nothing against people who make more money than me.

The point today on No Tax Tuesday is that the Democrats always proclaim that the taxes they plan to levee on Americans will be on "the rich" not the average American. The truth is that taxes always punish the middle and lower classes the most, not matter how sanctimoniously the Democrats proclaim that they must tax the rich.  So, who do you want representing you?

No Tax Tuesday: A Better Steward of Your Money

OK my fellow Americans, it's "No Tax Tuesday." My question is are you a better steward your money than the government?

I live in a nice city with a pretty decent school system and police who are bit over the top sometimes but, they do usually keep the bad guys on the other side of the (city) border. But, I am not sure if, by the looks and feel of the roads that tax dollars are utilized the best.

My state is definitely in the crapper. We used to be the fifth largest economy in the world all by ourselves. Now, I am not sure if we even have an economy. Our illustrious senators vote for the protection of smelt fish and shut down huge portions of the farming communities, thus killing a major portion of California's economy. But, we're green! The alleged senator is now running a smear campaign against Carly Fiorina accusing her of outsourcing jobs to other countries. What is the number of jobs lost in California under the Boxer, Pelosi, Harman and Democratic majority reign?

My country? We have been "simulized" into a general stupor of confusion. The Democrats want to spend  more of  our money and tax us more to get that money. Both the Democrats and Republicans already  in Washington have their "solutions" which will only put us more in debt and enslave our children more. So far el presidente Obama has usurped control of 1/6 of the economy by his health careless takeover and who knows what evil lurks behind the unread pages of the financial reform package.

My question was: Who is a better steward of my/your money? When Senators are voting for bills they haven't even read, when a President is pushing through a bill without informing the public, or the Senators what is truly in it, then we have not just irresponsible leadership but dishonest and deceptive leadership. It is time for them to go.
