Government and taxes are needed otherwise we would destroy ourselfs and there would be no infrastructure. Just look at any stupid riot after a big
sports game.
Humans have an ability to be very stupid and destructive for no reason at all. If it wasn't for laws and law enforcment things would
be pretty ugly.
The problem however is way to much bloat. Taxes that are taken are not being spent well at all. There is very unreasonable tax brackets. In my opinion
there should be a flat tax across the board. Everyone pays 10% to federal income tax. That way it is fair to everyone. Also the earned income credit
needs to be revamped. I know many people that get more money back every year than they put in because of the number of kids they have. That just isn't
right in my opinion. You should never get more money back than you put in. That means you are taking from someone else and you are not helping to pay
for infrastructure and everything else taxes pay for.
Taxes are not evil they are just not used well. I think if the government used taxes properly and we all see the positive results a lot less people
would be pissed about paying taxes. Everytime I see the government go on about how many billions they are giving to Pakistan and other countries I get
rather annoyed especially being my local police department and fire department had to cut almost in half this year. Not to mention all the schools are
cutting staff and broke. I payed almost $9,000USD in fedral taxes last year and only made $48K total. If that money was being spent well I would be
fine with it, but when I see generational welfare families and people with so called disabilities taking it it bothers me. I hate going to my local
stores and seeing a guy pull up in a new $50,000USD truck jacked up a foot and jumping in and out of it without issue yet he has a disabled tag and is
in the disabled parking spot... If you can crawl in and out of that huge truck with out missing a beat you can work, and how it is you can afford a
$50K truck plus another $10K in lifts, tires, wheels and other mods on disability? I can't afford that making $48K a year.
The system is just messed up and a lot of it has to do with all these bottom feeders that breed like rabbits raping all the social programs to death.
They all seem to have medical issues that cram the ER's and clinics raising medical care for all of the rest of us.
It is sad for such an intelegant species we are the dumbest most self destructive things on the planet. To think we don't need taxes, laws and law
enforment to maintain civility is asinine. But at the sametime they need to be a lot more fair than they are now.
