The government does in fact make dumb decisions. People just need to man up.

Keep the good info coming.

…( Can you say ‘Mafia’?…)
In our State, one politician had the guts to say the obvious:
” We want Our Share…” He made the headlines with that statement.
( That honorable gentleman was referring to casino taxes & fees )

” Our Share “… To the Govts. I say: When did you ever create a product?, When did you
launch a new idea?, What have you exported on a ship lately?…
…Nothing.

So lets check the ‘scoreboard’:

Massachusetts: Free car given to homeless people, with paid liability insurance
New York City: Homeless families provided with $90/day apartments, w/marble floors
Texas: Unemployed illegal alien with (3) kids receives $1,200 in cash & food / month

Now I’ll get personal:
Mobile phone: 18% taxes & fees
Business phone: 22% taxes & fees
Water bill: 16% taxes & fees
Gallon of Gas: 54 cents Fed & State taxes
Cigarettes: $20 a carton Fed & State taxes
Loaf of bread: 43 cents Federal (didn’t know that?…)
Car Tire: $11 Fed & State taxes
USA Passport: $105 Fed (used to be $55 (4) years ago…)
Airline Ticket: (One-Way) $22 Fed & State fees
Motel Room: 18% Fed & State taxes

Today, not tomorrow. Purchase the book “Thidwick The Big Hearted Moose” by Dr Suess ”
Go to a bookstore & pay full boat (including your State Sale Tax…)
Written in (1948)… it’ll open your eyes

I’m with you, Bill. The Government makes dumb decisions… and the very people who create jobs and generate wealth have to pay for the bureaucrats’ mistakes? Unfortunately, an all-too-common occurrence…

Rather than ‘suck it up’ like the rest of us, government only has to pass new taxes to cover stupid spending.
