The Tax Cut Swindle

The president went on record this week during the fourth year of his campaign for reelection of saying that we cannot afford to spend money on tax cuts right now.

Whoa! Really? Since when is letting people keep more of their own money considered spending? Technically it would be a revenue cut. All money that government spends or gives away is in fact money that they have confiscated from people or from groups of people (corporations) by force. Force you say? That sounds a little harsh... Okay, stop paying your taxes and see what happens.

And while we're on the topic of taxes, I get so sick of politicians using tax cuts on that group and this group for political posturing. It is sick. Pitting Americans against each other.

There is no such thing as a tax cut! Since when is deciding to take less of someone's money a tax cut? They make it sound as if they are doing you a favor by letting you keep more of your money. That would be like the schoolyard bully being classified and a nice guy for allowing you to keep a larger portion of your lunch money! Hello! He's still a bunch of your money by force!

Yes, taxes are a necessary evil if we are to have an organized government. But let's cut through the bologna and see things how they really are. What do you think?
