For Those Who Work Half The Year to Pay Direct and Indirect Taxes, Let Us Think

"The government that governs least is the government that governs best."
-Ron Paul, speaking on the founding fathers

Why is it that so many people think that the government should hold their hands? Why is it that people who say they want lower taxes and do not approve of the national debt act offended when their own personal projects have their government funding threatened? If you want lower taxes, if you want more money in your pocked, if you want the government to be less involved in your life, if you want the congress to have a balanced budget- something just has to give. We have to spend less money; And Let me just say that the government is not going to stop building and maintaining roads and it would be a very bad idea to stop paying the military. The government is not our mamma. And if you want to be left alone, if you want lower taxes, if you want a balanced budget- programs have to go- and some of those programs are very good and helpful. You can't do everything and you cannot have everything. Voice your opinion. Do some thinking. Talk to some people. As Ron Paul has also said more than once, cutting taxes does not cost the government anything- the government itself costs you and I something. Let's not get that backwards.
