Taxes ?/!&$+#...
How do we pay for things and how do we buy them? I look on taxes as a necessary evil for the services we need. We could have universal health care, funds for Social Security, pay down the national debt, etc, etc... If we just had the Tax money to do!...

Everyone already knows that the Government can't do anything right (personally the current group isn't helping to dispel that rumor)but to that I say why do we accept that? We make that statement and go on about our business, know in the back of our minds that our government is a screw up and we do nothing!...

My proposal is that government can work for the people if we get responsible people in to do the job. It may mean higher investment on our part but if we receive the services instead of giving it to big business, then I would consider that a good investment....

Finally, I don't think it's asking too much for those that reap the most benefit from our society and it's workers, to contribute back to this country to help all of us attain our dreams...

High ideals I know but we can do it. We need to start thinking like a buying group that has the ability to bargain for the best possible deals because of the buying power we have...

Everyones has an opinion, this is mine, whats your's?...
