Have you ever asked yourself why you had to give the Government
money? Ever since the early 1800s we
have collected taxes from America. The income tax is one of the most profitable
taxes which are in place to make up for the Governments spending. Before this
time, revenue was collected through sales
tax, taxing items such as tobacco or alcohol. Times have changed and costs have
gone up.
Now of days our Deficit has
increased, unlike the worth of the dollar. Believe it or not, but our
Government spends over 1 trillion dollars a year. How do we pay for that, you
ask? Our Government now believes that it has the right to ask more from the
people, whether they are rich or not, instead of decreasing there spending. The
left seems to think that by increasing taxes, there is not a need to decrease
the spending. In other words, this means that you won't be able to keep all of
the money you make.
When it is time to realize that
taxation isn't a solution, but rather a problem. It isn't a hard concept to
grasp that the less taxes, the more money the people have to spend. More taxes
mean less money for the people to spend. Has our Government forgotten who they
provide for or are they just looking out for themselves. Times weren't always
like this and it is time to change now.
