Dear Americans,

In the near future, i will begin posting videos because my ADD is so bad that it's hard for me to focus long enough to make a well thought out type-written post. I promise that it will be awesome.

Defend thy freedom!

Dear Fellow American,

As you are most certainly aware, America is dying. Not because we're fighting wars on two fronts, not because of Administrations past or present, not because the Chinese have hacked our power grid, but because we are witnessing an unprecedented, expansion of government that encroaches on our personal liberties. Where is the proof you ask? Here it is. Fact number one, The current is raising taxes on the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans to 39 percent. I don't make near that much money so why do i care right? Wrong! What if i do end up making that much and i fall into that category? How dare the government punish me for working really hard and making this money. Besides, history shows that when taxes are lower on the wealthy, they contribute more to charities.
Truth be told, the wealthiest 2 percent bear approximately 40 to 60 percent of the tax burden, depending on where you get your news. Raising taxes brings in more money for dear Uncle Sam. This is an issue of economics 101. Raising taxes should give the government room to eliminate our insane national debt and deficit right? Wrong again! This brings me to fact number two.
As the first paragraph suggests, government is growing, it's spending money like an overnight lottery winner on steroids. Trillions in banks, Billions in autos, and millions in 'stimulus' packages, and record numbers of pork-barrel spending programs diminish the income from raised taxes, and may increase the deficit.
Okay I've done more than my fair share of finger pointing. Here are some solutions I have to offer for our current economic situation. First is to eliminate federal programs that states cannot provide themselves. (Welfare, health care, education etc) If states compete amongst themselves for taxpayer dollars, the quality and efficiency of said programs will be much better for taxpayers. With these programs relegated to a lower level, these programs run much more efficiently, and spend fewer federal government dollars. Simply making more money doesn't help if you spend it just as rapidly as you make it. Why do you think that most lottery winners end up filing bankruptcy? Do you think club fed is out of control? When will this economic crisis stop being President Bush's problem and start being President Obama's problem?
Please leave your comments. I don't edit posts for anything (not even ads) because this is America, and it's freedoms are it's most valuable asset. When we surrender these freedoms, the terrorists win.
