I am grateful that I live in America where I can complain without recrimination about paying money to the government in taxes .
I am also grateful that the government to which I pay those taxes protects me from crime, foriegn invasions, charlatans of all kinds and – at times – from myself.
The taxing business of paying money for taxes results from our always-self-interested elected fools – especially those in DC – who are spending our tax money to get re-elected. I wish the dim-wits in the US Congress…
-
~ would eliminate the IRS,
-
~ enact a flat tax of some sort,
-
~ enact a balanced budget amendment,
-
~ give the President the line item veto,
-
~ fix Social Security (including placing themselves and all other federal workers in the system),
-
~ commit to energy independence,
-
~ solve the illegal immigration problem,
-
~ figure out a free enterprise solution to the health insurance mess…
In other words, our legislators should solve our country’s problems instead of spending their time trying to demean and impeach each other for the sake of their own peceived political gain.
The US Congress has become an impediment to solving the problems of the people they are sworn to serve. It is they who have divided the country. It is they who have thrown the gauntlet and created the duel between the branches of government. It is they and their political agendas that have stymied progress in so many areas. It is they who are wasting our money and making the business of paying taxes – taxing.
The behavior of the US Congress is unethical and immoral. I’m not talking about the few who stashed money in their freezers or took lobbyist money and got caught or behaved badly in some airport. I’m talking about the entire US Congress that is stealing from America and putting America at risk by ignoring the people’s business in favor of paritsan infighting and personal aggrandizement.
We can rant about the Collective of Clods on Capitol Hill and hope our words sting some enough to create the substantive change America needs. We can’t create that change.
We can individually create the changes in our personal money practices that allow us to maintain peace of mind about our money regardless of the shenanigans of the Weak-Backed Wimps in Washington. I encourage you to discover how –> www.TheMoneyForLifeBook.com
