Brad;
That's why we have revolutions, political assassinations, and overthrow
governments. It's our way of telling the government that we are not pleased
with the job they are doing! :-)
On the other hand elections are just a means of telling our governments to
keep things as they are and make no changes.

I wish it was only double taxation. I pay taxes on my pay. They tax my
social security tax withheld. What I'm left with, when I buy something
at the store, or gasoline, etc., they charge me extra to cover the stores
taxes. For those of you who live in a state with sales tax (no sales tax
in oregon), you pay tax again. Then, if you live in oregon, you can't
deduct from your oregon tax filing your FULL federal income tax, only a
portion, so you pay tax on the federal tax. I'm sure there are other
examples, but it looks to me like triple or more taxation.
Our country's founders revolted against a tea tax, which if memory serves
me correctly, was less than 5%. How proud they must be of us, as we
simply lay down and let the politicians tax the country at about 10 times
that amount.
Off my soapbox. Sorry,
Brad
