Is Congress Increasing Spending So They can Raise Taxes
And what happens to places like PayDay who are accused of usury rates? Rates that a person voluntarily agrees to. Congress investigates and calls it a travesty. Then they charge me 15% SS/Medicare tax. Tax my income at both the state and federal level. Charge me property tax each year. Business property tax annually. Gross Receipts tax monthly. GR tax on most of my purchases. Taxed on any gains I made because I took a risk investing. Tax on the interest I made if I took no risk and left it in savings. All the hidden taxes passed on etc. Tell me how much of my money I can gift without penalty. Estate tax if I have anything left. I would say that close to 50% of my income makes PayDay look like pikers. (1 hr ago | post #11)

And Antartica used to be tropical. What, we think everything is static and that it will go on at the same pace forever? And so we cobble together a rationale. A cause that we can control and therefore control and reverse climate. Us. So funny. (23 hrs ago | post #12)

Go figure why they are spending as if there is no tomorrow. Obama has spent more in his first year as president than any other president in history. Remember the cry that taxes are patriotic. They need a reason to raise taxes. It will also slow down gas consumption, green house emissions, pay for more entitlement government programs etc. There is not enough spending yet. The debt means nothing if you are guaranteed a goose to lay your golden eggs. We be the goose. They need to increase taxes to pay for the grand design of government programs. Without tax increases they fold. If they are spending 40% of GDP and only bringing in 15% of GDP they need somewhere to go. Seen the dollar lately. Imagine when the Treasuries are downgraded from AAA. We will be the third world country they all want us to be. The handicap is in. We will all be equal. (Sunday | post #5)
