Are You with the "Occupiers"? Wanting to Vote to Raise Taxes More?

Do you hate those evil capitalists?  Do you want more socialism?  Wanting to prevent reductions in government spending?  Wanting to soak the filthy rich pigs who make more than you?  When you vote against reforming public spending, when you vote against tax reform in any form you are voting against yourself.  Do you think it's just fine and dandy that public employees rake in outrageous salaries?  Do you not care what your community is spending?  It affects you.  When you fail to vote in local elections, when you vote for candidates that are going to produce more spending, and against reform, it affects YOU.

You will be on the hook for more taxes.  The "filthy rich", they will probably be fine, but you Mr. Populist, Mr. Middle Class will be on the hook for those unfunded government employee pensions.  Your state and local taxes will go up.  Your property taxes will go up.  The costs of buying goods in your community will go up.  It will be more expensive to live.  You see, you may call lower taxes for everyone "trickle-down" economics, which sounds so terrible doesn't it, but what you may not realize is that higher taxation on the rich results in higher taxes for EVERYONE. 

The problem is NOT that we NEED MORE REVENUE-which in government-speak always means they're going to TAKE, that is, CONFISCATE more of your money in taxes-the problem is that they're spending too ****-much money.  When government DEMAGOGUES pit "poor" and "middle" and "rich" people against one another, they are stacking the deck against WE the PEOPLE.  When they succeed in getting your vote they are busy high-fiving each other over how they HOODWINKED you.  IT IS GOVERNMENT THAT IS THE PROBLEM.  WE'VE GOT TOO MUCH OF IT!  It is time that WE the PEOPLE get a CLUE and tell them to STOP the **** GOVERNMENT SPENDING!  There are not enough TAXES (revenues) in the world to pay for their STUPID ideas and their STUPID government programs, and there are a LOT of STUPID government programs. 

What we need is for GOVERNMENT TO CUT SPENDING EVERYWHERE.  They are WASTING what they get.  They need to live within their means as a government.  WE NEED many LESS GOVERNMENT employees, and more PRIVATE SECTOR employees.  It also means no more "FREEBIES" for everyone.  "FREEBIES" from the government are not freebies.  You will pay for them in one form or another.  More government spending always leads to TRICKLE DOWN TAXES.  Taxes that hit everyone.

Here's an excellent article on how the pensions and obligations to public employees affect you:
