I want my tax money back!!!

Congress just keeps signing more and more bills into law that will keep the national deficit way above anything we’ll ever be able to pay off in our lifetimes.  And Congress is supposed to be the voice of the people it represents.  So who was speaking for me when they decided to write the bill that puts our country 9 Trillion dollars deeper into debt???  And why is it that a country with a Free-Market can even do that to its people?

Where is my voice?  Who is taking my concerns to the President of the United States and making it known that I’m 100% displeased with this decision?   No one.  The reason is because Congress doesn’t care what the people want.  Congress thinks that the average Joe is too stupid to know what is good for them, therefore, they vote legislation into law that we have no control or say over.  And we end up losing more and more of our tax dollars to stupid legislation.   Nevermind that members of Congress have the leisure of Air Force owned jets to fly all over the country at their own discretion, ie. Nancy Pelosi…all financed with our tax dollars.

I WANT MY TAX MONEY BACK!!!!

I want to be able to use my hard-earned money to use where I see fit.  I’m tired of financing major corporations that get bailouts because they can’t stay afloat!!!   Why should that be MY problem?   If I can’t pay my own mortgage, who’s going to bail me out?   And I already lost several thousands of dollars in my 401k this year, not to mention my company ISN’T matching our 401k this year because of the idiotic bailout plan that went into action.  The entire market is coming down because of this stupidity.   Or better yet, if I owned my own business and I wasn’t able to make a profit, would the government bail me out?  Nope.  And the reason is because my small business wouldn’t be lining Congressional pockets or doing them any favors.

For those of us who are hard-working tax payers who didn’t ask to bailout these corporations, we should have a voice.  We should have a say in where our money goes.  We shouldn’t have to put up with Congress (who’s not looking out for what’s best for the American People, but for a few corporations who may have scratched their  backs) making bad decisions that we will end up paying for.  Those elected officials have wronged us!

I am tired of sitting back and watching the IRS compound more and more taxes on the American people.  I get taxed on almost everything I do.  There’s tax for owning a home, owning a vehicle, taxes on food, gas, clothing, you get taxed on phone usage, flushing the toilet (which is a double tax because you’re taxed on what goes in your body, and then what comes out)!  I’m tired of taxes!!!    

But since we all have to pay taxes regardless of how I feel about it, here’s an idea…Why not be able to choose where my tax dollars go???    Much like the 401k plan works, you should be able to choose which programs you want to benefit from your tax dollars.  Give me the option of paying for state-funded prisoners to eat for free and use the internet and get law degrees while they’re serving their time.  Give me the option of spending my tax dollars helping out major corporations that would just get bought out by larger ones if they went down in flames.  Give me the option of funding highway cleanup crews.   Give me the option of funding other such nonsense which is running rampant in our country…and then I’ll be a much happier Citizen.

Until then, I WANT MY TAX DOLLARS BACK!!!
