[quote=ltsdd][quote=meadandale][quote=ltsdd]Can’t blame people for being upset that the Govt is taking away the free handouts that they have been enjoying the last 10 years with the generous tax cuts initiated during the Bush administration.[/quote]
I love when someone refers to “keeping your own money” as a “handout”.[/quote]
If you don’t accept that taxation is a part of life here in the U.S. then I agree that it’s not a handout. Otherwise, suck it up and accept the reality and be thankful that Bush gave most of us a nice yearly bonus for the last ten years or so.[/quote]
I don’t accept that every dollar I earn belongs to the government by default and that it is only by the government’s generosity that I’m allowed to keep some of my earnings.
That’s called slavery.
Yes, we as citizens have to come together as a society and pitch in. That’s why we have taxes. However, the things we are now pitching in for are expanding to things that the government should not be involved with and they are sucking an ever increasing amount of our GDP into their giant maw.
