Politicians think (or maybe really can't) get re-elected without MASSIVE ENTITLEMENT programs, giving people something for "nothing".
Unfortunately that something comes from TAX MONEY from people, not "nothing" or "the government".
I think we have reached the tipping point in this country. Washington State and Colorado are going to be taxing candy, soda and internet sales, also. Nearly all states are in a "budget crisis".
These ridiculous tax hikes, new laws with fines and restrictions that cost tax money to get around WILL CONTINUE until total economic collapse....
OR
The taxpaying, non-leeching citizens of this country stand up and say enough.
AND
TERM LIMITS for politicians. These B@stards have made a career out of getting re-elected. Enough is enough. They have to give out bigger and better treats then the next guy to keep their grip on power, a vicious circle that gets us where we are now.
D or R, does not matter. No more career politicians.
Sure, work yourself up the ladder, but don't stay in one position for 25 years. That leads to corruption.
Also, EVERYONE has to get involved at their local level. STOP your local politicians from spending state and federal money.
Schools are a great place to start. really look at the curriculum and how the schools are spending. I think we can all agree that kids today are not getting what most people would consider an "education". Even at the elementary school level, there is all sorts of time being spent on "social issues"...
Enough already. Let the parents teach social issues, not the government. Teachers should teach the basics, reading, writing and MATH (thought I was going to go there, didn't you). Leave the social engineering to PARENTS. Kids don't need to come home from school and tell their parents they learned from teacher that what their parents do is "wrong" for: The environment/The Poor/Animals/their health, etc.
This is happening to several family members and friends here in GA.
Also, do kids need laptops to learn? NO. Do kids need shiny new football stadiums to learn? NO. Do kids need electronic whiteboards to learn? NO.
This disease of unchecked spending has invaded every level of our lives and government.
If we spent our own money like the government, we would be out on the streets in a week (unless you got bailed out with more tax money, stolen from another, more responsible citizen).
CUT BUDGETS / STOP SPENDING / TERM LIMITS / REDUCE TAXES
Only then shall we regain our freedom and our great country.
