QUOTE how did it come to this? I blame the government... and taxes... and alcohol... and the rich. It's a simple enough concept- each American citizen pays income tax to pay our civil employees and public servants. OK, that's fair enough. But the mistake was made years and years ago, back at end of the Revolutionary War. Our fore fathers waged war against the British. Why? Because of taxes. Yeah, there was a lot more to it than that, but taxes were the main issue. But the American Revolution left our country in a great debt; so what did Washington, Jefferson, and their buddies decide to do to eliminate that debt? Taxes. On distilled spirits to be more specific. Since then it's just been a vicious cycle of continued taxes into our generation. Anybody that regularly watches the History channel can tell you this. And when you consider that, in this country, the more money you make and the bigger your company gets, the better the taxes work to your advantage. So since the big oil giants are making billions of dollars a year in this day and age, they get more and more tax breaks. Because of this, the average joe like you and me have to suffer for it. I believe that George Carlin said it best... "The rich pay none of the taxes, do none of the work. The middle class pay all of the taxes, do all of the work. The poor are there... just to scare the shit out of the middle class." Just my $.02 |
