On and On

Once again, the government is taxing us. AIG needs another few tens of billions, eh, let 'em have it. Bam! The stock market drops another 300. Oh well.

I just got burned again in my 401k and lost more significant dollars because I invest and others shy away. Is it right? I am not sure; however, there are more forces at play here. The government seems intent on supporting the failed infrastructure also known as banks and financial institutions. Instead of facing the music today, the government has elected to devalue your and my dollars by continuing the charade. Is bankruptcy out of the question? How about foreclosure? Why not a tea party? Rick Santelli has the right idea. We are currently taxed for stuff you and I would never spend money on even if we had some extra laying around. The National Endowment of the Arts comes to mind. I love art; however, I do not believe it is in the constitution that the federal government should pay for this. It has never been droppped from the budget and continues to this day to receive federal funding.

I want a government to provide security, infrastructure (roads and highways) and allow the many freedoms we should be enjoying to thrive. When the government gives away money to those programs that do not support the above, I am being robbed.

President Obama got his "stimulus" passed and is giving away money to whoever has their had the highest. Get ready for more stimulus in the way of taxes. The hidden taxes will be in the form of cap and trade which should drive gas prices to highs not seen before.

I can only hope that one day taxes will be transparent.
