While at work today, I walked into an interesting discussion. Not a discussion that surprised me but one that had a few others scratching their head and a look on their face like what the hell!
The individuals having the discussion were much like myself, middle class Kansans trying to live the dream. But today there was a realization. The were all preparing to make their payment to the IRS for their back taxes. Middle Class Americans not paying enough taxes by the end of the year so playing a little catch up so to speak. Interestingly these individuals are very hard working individuals who also work an additional job for extra spending money. But in the end they simply paid even more taxes on pay day but also paid more of those back taxes. In the end they realize that hard work is losing it's value. Why bother working so hard when you are simply giving your fruit to the government to redistribute to others.
So think about this and consider something. The next time you hear a politician or anyone else tell you that taxes on the middle class will not go up, please have the common sense and guts to speak up and defend yourself against these insult on your intelligence.
I really think there are many middle class Americans who were caught hook line and sinker in the last last campaign and election. They thought they would have no worries because the government was going to save them. They would pay our mortgages and our utilities, they would pay for our health care. The government would save the car industry. There would be no war and the rest of the world would love us again. But most importantly they said they would not raise taxes on the middle class. Well the campaign is over now and I am not impressed. I'm not a socialist.
