Who is president, who gets elected, just changes some of the names of the corporations making money off the taxpayer. Social issues are the only real difference between the D and R party. The money keeps being spent. They live like Gods and you pay for it by giving them half of your labor.
About half the cost of everything is taxes. Think about it. The mining operation and equipment, the land, the ore, the fuel used, is all taxed. The railroad who ships the ore to the steel mill is taxed, the business, the train, the operators, fuel. The steel mill is taxed, the equipment, workers, corporation that owns it. The manufacturer who works the metal into a product is taxed, his equipment, his workers. The truckers were taxed who moved everything around, their truck was taxed, the fuel, their company. The store who sold it was taxed, the building, the business itself, the merchandise when bought. Each pays about 10% the cost of the item in taxes, 10% gets added to the price in the chain because of taxes.
We pay enough in taxes, AND they borrow $1 trillion every year, they live like royalty. They don't LEAD us, they DECEIVE us. And we're so stupid we "elect" them again and again, to rob us. Because they've convinced us, the "other guy" is even worse.
Ignorant rabble, the lot of you. All the Ds and Rs. You vote for "the lesser of two evils" and then complain when you're taken advantage of? Duh! STOP voting for ANY D or R, if we can stick together, we can win. Otherwise, it'll be meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Same as it ever was. Nothing good will happen.

No, one half of everything isn't taxes.

Right now, you have dueling banjos. Republicans want to cut social programs. Democrat want to reform the tax code to pay for social programs. In plain English, they want to increase taxes to pay for social programs. No one is budging. So, we are on road to nowhere.
Stick together and do what? not vote! What the hell does that accomplish?
Vote for a Tea Party person, or whatever they are calling themselves now. People that do not want to govern, and just want to make a lot of unless noise. That will certainly turn the country around.
