The State of the American Taxpayer?

Question

We all can sense that our great nation has some big problems these days and we want leadership that favors the American Taxpayers since we are the ones who are paying for all of this with our hard earned tax money. Foolish decision making and failed policies by our elected leaders (of both parties) have our military personnel involved in questionable wars, have sent thousands of American jobs overseas, have made our country more unsafe, have damaged our nations reputation around the world, and have wasted billions of tax dollars - putting our nation deeply in debt (it is painfully clear that our leaders think that our tax money is theirs to waste at will).

Answer 1

Charging Americans income tax is illegal, look it up. We're being lied to.

Answer 2

As far as we know the former President Bill Clinton lied about Monica L., But left a surplus of over $ 8, Million dollars to this Country. Now we are so far in debt that our children's children's will start out in debt. So much is wasted it virtually makes me ill. I say for the companies that use oversea employees should be boycotted and certainly do not use or purchased these products.
The amount of taxpayers money that has been and still is sent to Afghan and Iraq. To rebuild the schools and clinics that the Afghan Taliban has riddle with bullets or used other equipment to destroy what has already built by the tax papers, USA is rebuilding again. This should stop now! American money is handed out to the Iraqis and the Afghan's for information that may or may not be true. This should stop now! And now the tax papers are supporting the medical bills for others that cross our borders illegally. This should stop now!!
This is a catch 22, if they are illegal & the children born here are American citizens. I have no problem for those that want a better life for their families, but do it legal and pay your medical bills yourself & do it legally!!

Answer 3

Its painfully clear that politicians and the people who elected them think that the money of future taxpayers is theirs to spend. - Otherwise we wouldn't be running these big deficits. - Current taxpayers have it relatively easy. We have soldiers all over the world and the Chinese keep lending us money to pay for them.

Do you think your taxes are high enough? - Well its time to grow up. And part of being a grown up is learning to make choices. If we are going to be the world policeman with military spending that is larger than all of the other nations in the world combined, we can't expect to have a standard of living as high as other modern industrialized nations that don't have military bases all over the world.

From Fiscal 2002 to Fiscal 2006, the Federal Government borrowed approximately 2.4 trillion dollars, including borrowing from social security trust fund. That 2.4 trillion dollars in borrowing means that from fiscal 2002 to fiscal 2006, approximately 1/4 of non social security government spending was financed with borrowed money. (See www.ctj.org/pdf/def0706.pdf) So all we have to do to keep up our World Policeman roll is to raise everybody's income taxes by 25% - Or we can in effect default on the debt to the Social Security trust fund - by cutting the benefits that were paid for with FICA taxes on workers' wages . How do these alternatives sound? -

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6
