The wave is coming

Here you go. The Tax Tsunami On The Horizon.

Your taxes are going to go up because the President wants to spread the wealth around. In other words, the government is going to take away what you have earned and give it to someone who hasn’t earned it. You can read the article for the particulars about what the tax rates are going to do, and the return of the Death Tax, and so on.

Why would someone want to take away your hard earned money? Because he thinks you stole it from the poor. Instead of helping to poor with a hand up instead of a hand out, he exercises control over the lowest part of the economic ladder. He cuts the rungs out of the ladder so they can’t advance, thus keeping them on the dole, barely subsisting and dependent on the government for their very existence. The only thing spoon-feeding teaches is the shape of the spoon.

So, by letting the Bush tax cuts expire, our taxes will go up starting January 1, 2011. If you have a rich relative almost dead at the end of the year, you better hope they pass before midnight or their estate will be subject to a 55% death tax on estates over $1 million. If someone leaves a farm to you next year, you’ll have to sell it to pay the tax on the estate bill.

I heard a remark from my Congressman this morning on my way into the store, “Tax cuts should be targeted and temporary.”

Nevermind the facts that when you cut taxes, economic growth goes through the roof. But you see, those in power at the moment don’t want that, except for themselves. They would rather see the economy limp along, nobody getting rich and everybody one step away from economic ruin.

Vote the bastards out this November. That includes both parties. Vote someone new in, someone who understands that the government derives its power from the consent of the governed. Don’t vote for someone who thinks they know better than you.

Life has been busy

I cant believe that July is almost done, and I havent made a single post. Well, the reason is Ive been going until I drop, getting up before Ive had a full nights sleep, and going at it again.

I dont know how long I can keep this up. Even my beautiful wife was grumbling that she doesnt see me anymore. Hell, *I* dont see me anymore. Im way behind on a lot of things, simply because I spend so much time at the store, plus the day job. Practically all I have is Sunday and Monday evening to do house and family stuff. Not a lot of time left for me.

I think Im going to take some time off from everything. Maybe spend some time painting and going to bed early. I just have to find the time that I can do it. Im a cornerstone at the store, and Im starting to get groomed for stuff at the lodge. Breaking commitments is hard, but I have to start saying no at some point.

Wish me luck.
