I have a simple question. Name one civilization in the history of the world that ever taxed itself into prosperity?

Here’s another. When has a poor person ever offered you a job? Great idea, let’s tax the job producers even more.

One of my favorite quotes from Walter Williams.

“My definition of social justice is you keep what you earn and I keep what I earn. Do you disagree? Then tell me how much of what I earn belongs to you and why?

I am certainly FAR from ever being rich and find myself about dead center in the “working middle class.” I figure when you add everything up, almost 50% what what I earn get’s taken from me in some form of tax. That’s just not right. Obama now wants to take even more.

It’s interesting because when the subject of tax cuts come up the Democrats always say the government simply can’t afford it right now. I don’t recall ever being asked by the Federal Government if I can afford it.

If Obama rolls back the Bush tax cut like he says he will, that alone will cost me $3000 a year.

btw, tax cuts don’t cause national debt, congress spending too much of our money does.
