Tax Day is normally April 15th and I have a question: why doesn’t everyone have to put in their fair share? EVERYONE should be a contributor and not divide the country into Makers and Takers.
After all, we all share from the benefits of being Americans so why shouldn’t everyone, except for the elderly and infirm, be pulling the cart instead of riding in it, right? Why have we decided that:
- Only the Rich needed to suffer the phrase “Taxation is Theft” every since Progressives / Socialists passed the 16th Amendment that instituted a nation-wide income tax scheme
- Government should be the font of all Charity – individuals can’t be trusted to do the right things (again, same people, same push – just ask Bernie Sanders who infamously said he’d stop all charity if he could.
Remember, the lower 50% pay only about 4% of all income taxes. How is THAT fair when they can vote themselves the benefit of the Public Treasury and have no skin in the game themselves? Certainly, one public benefit in doing so would that we’d have, I’d hope, a more interested and involved electorate. After all, it WOULD be their money being spent worse than a whole city full of drunken sailors.
Nov 1st should be Tax Day, too! And if everyone was paying in, it would have us ALL of us steaming for a couple of days and THEN vote for our respective elected representative. Do you think any changes would happen differently?
NOTE: No, I’m not setting the expectation on myself to have a new installment every day. I am hoping for one every other or third day – that is, unless you folks, our loyal readers, want me to.
So, what say you?
