Big Brother getting Fatter

I dunno, I am no political analyst or super genius economist but could someone please explain to me exactly how Cap and Trade, Nationalized Healthcare, Bail Outs, etc is a good thing?  In my simple little mind, my simple mathematical ability doesn’t add up.  Here we are in a bad economy where the dollar only buys .68 Euros, people are losing their houses and jobs, and yet the government seems to think that taking more money out of already paltry paychecks to pay for these programs is a good thing.  Is there just no common sense left?  Its a simple formula: Little Money – Tax money = Less money/Spending.  In no way does Little Money – Tax Money = More Money/Spending except in the minds of the current leadership. I am actually getting worried that I won’t be able to pay my taxes, buy food, and keep the lights on after all this stuff goes through, and remember the Army pays my rent.

I understand that the Democrats are having a heyday and no one can stop them.  They get to do everything they want, and that seems to be making the middle class poor to prop up large corporations and the welfare class – both.  What happens to all these wonderful “programs,” *cough* taxes, when the people paying them run out of money?  A bankrupt federal government, that’s what.  Look at California.  And what happened to our promise of no new taxes?

I had speak up after I read about another “tax” program due to be started in 2020 to replace the fuel tax. Can anyone else see the problem with this? First, I doubt the fuel tax would be “replaced.”  No one ever just stops taxing the poor citizens.  They will just add the 1-2 cents (read 10 cents by 2020) to the already outrageous fuel tax.  Secondly, although most cars are becoming GPS equipped as a standard, do we really want Big Brother in the passenger seat watching every place we drive and then sending us a bill?  You thought the Patriot Act was an invasion of Privacy!

Sorry for the rant.  Its just that here I am, fighting for our country and becoming frustrated as I see our leadership in congress steering us over a cliff rapidly.  I am becoming truly worried about my stability and the future of our country.
