Blessed are the

caretakers, teachers, and the emergency workers. Taxes pay for your roads, your schools, much of the hospital and medical costs, all kinds of infrastructure and security, not to mention the military budgets. Go live in some other godforsaken backwoods or off the beaten path in another worldwide destination and get back with us after you learn how fortunate you are, because of all the monies circulated through government collections. None of us like having to pay, but it is the cost of living in a free part of the world. When we get more people actually working and improve productivity and good business in this nation again, it will balance out. Most of the jobs left due to bad policies with excessive regulation, investment potential, labor costs, and a corrupt generation of politicians who double crossed the voting public while running away with the loot. Taxes for crooks is criminal, and every profession has this problem. You have far too many who are more concerned about their golf game than doing the right thing. SWING!!!
