  • the taxes you pay are for our current national debt, doubled in the last 8 years thanks to # 43
  • Tim, I have news for you. Taxes are the price you pay to get to use the benefits of society. Do you worry that the roads won't be there tomorrow, or police protection, or fire protection, or that the water that comes out of your tap will poison you, or that when you flush the toilet it will simply pour out on to the street? If you can't run your business without paying your taxes, then you don't get to run your business. Just as you don't get to run your business by committing fraud, or employing slave labor, or selling dangerous/defective products, etc. Furthermore, if you are wondering where all that tax money goes, consider this: When the Clinton administration passed welfare reform in the mid-1990s, it was estimated that it would save $56 billion over 8 years. That's $7 billion/year. Currently, the US is spending $10 billion/MONTH occupying Iraq. Obama has promised to end the occupation. Don't you think "Go Obama!" might be a useful sentiment at this point?
  • With a timetable for withdrawl from Iraq, we have an end in sight to the $10 billion a month spending that is causing your higher tax rate. So Better Obama than McCain who has no plans to pull out.
