Sorry folks my comp crashed, it took me a while to get it back up. Probably some think it should crash & burn. LOL. A while back there was something about property taxes. Ther are too many taxes, and they are not going away for awhile unless. Their have been a couple of candidates in the past who had a cure for the taxation problem, but went nowhere. The only cure for rising taxes is a FLAT TAX. I think that now all income earned up into MAY is what we eventually pay in taxes & fees, hidden taxes amd other government charges we don't think about. Somebody  correct me if I'm wrong on this, please, or confirm it. If we have a flat tax on income, 35%?? collected on every paycheck issued in this country. Of course, graduated taxes for low income earners, and ALL other taxes repealed. NO sales tax, gasoline tax, no fees on government parks, no resale tax on vehicles, & anything else that we are being charged now. Wouldn't that be nice, to actually only pay for the gasoline you buy, without the tax & fees associated with it. We would probably put 3/4 of the tax collecters in ths country out of a job, they would have to find real jobs then, something that would contribute to society for a change. Nothing against the employees now, they are neccessary, and someone has to do it. Corporate bigwigs who have stock options, whenever you exercise your options you pay then. There should be NO tax shelters, You make money you pay, period. The tax should be collected by State governments, in order to make sure individual state needs are met first. All elected state officials should receive their salary from their their own state, (Senators & Congressmen) DISMANTLE  IRS completely & destroy all their records. They are nearly gestapolike in their actions. NO MORE property tax. If governing bodies can't function on a budget then they will have to do the same as me and you, CUT EXCESSIVE SPENDING. We do have some federal agencies that are important in todays society. Our borders are an unprotected leaking dam. We have laws in place that must be enforced, and we have jails that are better than some of our own homes with more amenities. Cable TV is not a constitutional right. Jail & prison are for punishment, not a vacation resort. I learned two things while incarcerated, how to not get caught, by people who had been caught. Now thats a laugh. The important thing I learned is that I am not going back. So now I work and don't look over my shoulder. Punishment for crimes should be just that, PUNISHMENT. One standard for all. If I rob a 7-11 and get $50.00, get caught, and go to jail, they man who robs pension funds should go to the same jail, not a federal "country club" prison with the amenities. Oh well I digress somewhat, but you get the drift.
