Taxed To Death

Okay, another day another dollar. Well that's about all we're worth really, think about it. Each time we get our paychecks, we see so much of our money being collected for taxes, what's left of that money we take to purchase food, clothing, pay for bills and other crazy little stuff, but if they've already taken taxes from our paychecks, why then are we still paying taxes for our food, clothing, and other crazy little stuff. Wouldn't this be considered double taxing?

Taxes are taken from our paychecks, we pay taxes when we go shopping, we are taxed for utilities, phone bills and anything else they can think of… Seriously we are being overtaxed. Who else thinks this is unreasonable?

Do you know that if you don't pay your taxes, there is a penalty which could range from anywhere between added interest and jail time. But, if the government owes you money and they don't pay you in a certain amount of time you do not collect interest, and they don't go to jail. Do you see the justice in this?

America is being taxed to death, the money they have collected, according to them is to benefit us, but the majority of that money is being used to benefit other countries not us. Take for example, I've just visited New York, and for every purchase you make there you will pay 8% in taxes, yet the streets are so destroyed that the vehicle you are in is being destroyed just driving on them. Where is the taxes to fix those streets?

In the Bronx, in Queens, in certain areas of Manhattan, garbage is being collected on the sidewalks and will remain there for days, isn't the tax payers money paying the government or the city to clean those streets? Isn't that what it is for? Along with so many other things that need fixing? If not, then what is it being used for?

God Bless America and the money flying out the window.
