Government have been collecting taxes since before the time of Jesus and will continue to do so. <br /><br />Once you pay your taxes, it is no longer your money. Your money goes into a big federal pot. <br /><br />The issue then becomes how does government spend the tax money the most effectively because the government is obligated to spend tax revenues before the end of the fiscal year. <br /><br />In addition, the US tax burden is in the lower third of the industrial world. <br /><br />There is really no reason for Americans to be tax whiners!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06614073507888981809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784547869594379965.post-44204032976492318672012-01-31T12:07:12.407-05:002012-01-31T12:07:12.407-05:00Of course, the purported stimulative effect of foo...Of course, the purported stimulative effect of food stamps aside, what proponents of such programs always simply ignore, is that before you can give someone a dollar's worth of food stamps, you first have to take it AWAY from a taxpayer, plus the 30% to 50% in gub'mint overhead.<br /><br />So, if food stamps magically materialized out of thin air, I suppose a case could be made for a miniscule impact on the overall economy. But I seriously doubt it.BWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05106497958445394839noreply@blogger.com
