And I've paid in far more than the debt "I created" - or ever will create.
The balance sheet is way in the black on my account.
Why should I also have to pay your debt as well - which in likelihood I have already done to some degree if you haven't already covered it?
What ever we all paid, there was nothing paid to the national debt.
The debt needs to be paid back and hasn't been addressed by the generation who made it (all of us).
Can you immagine what losers our next gererations will think of us if we don't pay the bills and pass it on?
Because you're a voter ... and as voters we have ALL allowed this to happen by allowing an uncontrolled pair of congressional bodies when many of them should have been voted out of office long ago..
It is time to begin to get back our country by bring a bit of control of taxation back to the citizens by means of the FairTax which not only shows us explicitly how much "our government" costs each of us, but it provides a mechanism to start to control the tax money going to these birds. If they receive too much in our opinion, we can reduce consumption to help urge them in the desired direction (downward spending).
Nothing like that is (or can be) possible under the present system, but most of us have this uneasy feeling within us that congressional spending is grossly too great yet we cannot tell how much it costs each taxpayer as many of the tax costs are hidden. At best, the tax system is grossly, horribly inefficient and costly. There is a far better way.
It's time for the FairTax!!!
