-> 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.
          We put into government what we reap.  To sow a better crop we must 
plant  better seeds.
