Well tax day has come and gone and what do we have to show for it? In our
case, a greatly diminished bank account thanks to the "self-employment tax".
So much for our government being pro entrepreneurial. Yeah, I know, we also
have to pay Social Security And that's the mega bite out of our paycheck.
Will we even recieve any of this when we retire? I doubt it.
And what about government services?
Well, we have senators who get to ride around in limosines at our expense
while we have to try to keep two ancient vehicles running.
We have men making a budget who can afford to wear suits that cost more than
I spend on food for ten each month. Do they even know the meaning of the
word "budget"? I doubt it.
We have men who seem to live their whole lives above the very laws that we
get sent to jail for breaking.
We have men who will testify to the neccessity of a well prepared military
but then turn and cut the military budget and close bases.
We have men who appear to be striving to tear down the same moral values
that we are trying to instill in our children.
