Taxman

American citizens bear an unfair share
of the tax burden while American
corporations are given substantial
tax writeoffs to release them from
their financial burden.
The theory is when major corporations
pay less taxes they will have more
to reinvest in their company and so
they can provide American workers
with more job opportunities but
in many cases they take the money
and relocate their production
plants to foreign nations.
In some cases they relocate their
headquarters to foreign countries
for the benefits of a tax haven.
Is this fair to the average citizen.
Of course not, it is just one more
scheme dreamed up by government and
corporation to keep the working man
in his place and to release businesses
from paying their fair tax burden.
The bottom line is as American
corporations find ways to pay less
taxes the American citizens are
called upon to take up the slack
and pay more taxes to the
Taxman.

makes me sick...I earned that money...like all working stiffs...I have kids to feed and clothe...and the government is lending out help to others, going into more debt...sore subject for me...and I would do something about it if I were the president but I'm not, so what's to do? I hate taxes! None of us should have to pay the government just because we have a job.  It's like we have to pay the government to allow us to work for a living.

I can't even stand to look at the 'gross pay' line on my paycheck knowing what the net pay line says.

I can relate!

(big hugggsssssss) Oh, the many evils of capitalism, I just wish hat whole system would expunge and only then are we ever truly free from the murdering of the working man! (sad sigh) And then you have those saying do you want anarchy, yet this is far more like anarchy to me! (sad sigh) My heart goes out to all the true dedicators, the workers, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
