Taxes... Where Will It End?

EastTexFrank . . . ditto what you said!

And one more thing. Living in a free society, like here in America, gives us certain rights. One of those rights is the RIGHT TO FAIL. Personally I think the fear of failure is a motivating force that keeps me moving forward. But never the less, I have the right to fail, and if I do, I should not expect everyone else to chip in a pay for my big screen TV and the cable that goes with it.

The opportunities are there, as never before, to improve your circumstances and living standards through education and hard work. You just have to get off your fat, lazy a** and do something about it ... make the right decisions. If all you want to do is sit around and collect wefare benefits, remember, that in order to do that some hard working American and their family is being penalized by having to pay higher taxes than necessary. )</font>

Has anyone EVER heard a welfare recipient EVER express any appreciation towards the taxpayer who gets up at 5AM in the morning, goes to work, earns his pay, and then has a large chunk of it taken from him in order to provide the resources for those UNEARNED welfare checks.

With all the channels on cable that talk about EVERTHING, I have NEVER heard any such expressions of gratitude. All I hear is how they want more and actually resent the working taxpayer, because he has more than they do and won’t give them more for sitting on their rear.

It won't end, but this will sure slow it down.

I know a lot of people squirm at the idea of a sales tax, but read the proposal over, it makes a lot of sense.
