Global Taxation with the World Bank holding the purse strings.
Global Warming/Climate Change is the Trojan Horse for Global Government.
EPA says CO2 is a toxic gas, end run around Congress to allow regulation.
Regulation of CO2 is literally regulation of your breath.
Regulation translates to Taxation.
But pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, look over there at Tiger boy, balloon boy, free health care, no house payment, no truck payment...take a pill, sit back and be happy........

Sorry I am all tapped out.
Income tax
Real property tax
Personal property tax
Sales tax
Highway use tax
Excise tax on almost everything
911 tax
Employment taxes (social security, unemployment and Medicare)
Truck license
Electricians license
Plumbers license
State contractors license
City contractors license in several cities and towns
B&O tax
State business registration
I know there are several more I am not thinking of right now.
Right now my tax load is about 65% of what I make.
Why am I working this hard so somebody else can decide where my money gets spent?

You make this choice and allow government to take away all your hard earned money.
I work for me and my family not the government.
I made my choice when I hit the 55% tax mark. I sold my house, business and everything else I owned. I took the money and my life south of the border where my $$$ still have value.
There are other good places to live than the USA.

What many people don't realize is taxes like any other expense has to be passed, so it is ultimately paid by the end user.
The irony is that the people that think this and that new tax doesn't affect them has to help pay it in the form of their govt check doesn't go near as far.

In the current world, any tax relating to energy or emissions will have a direct impact on what you pay for everthing you buy or energy you use to heat and light your home.
When will people get a clue, nothing is free.

But they have assistance for those high utility bills also.
One of the guys that work with me was in the grocery store the other day.
In WV they no longer use food stamps, it's some kind of swipe card.
The people in front of him had a basket full of name brand products, pulled out the swipe card and another price, much lower than the original total came up on the register.
He was pissed that they were buying brand name everything at a price cheaper than he was paying for generic.
Maybe some things are free for some people.
I am starting to think I am stupid for going out, working every day in the mud and freezing temps to make ends meet.

I'd rather live with the inner pride knowing I'm doing all I can to support wife and 2 little ones with no goverment support. I'm sure there are alot of families that fall into hard times and need it, but at the same time there's alot that abuse it. Glad I'm not either.

He would have been more pissed had he realized he was paying for their debit card to boot.
Yea the live for nothing seems tempting until you consider the real cost, being a ward of the State, living on your knees groveling for their crumbs, and giving up all your dignity, honor, and self respect. Seems it's actually more expensive to live for nothing when you think about it.

The sad part is if you follow one of them out and see what they load their groceries in, at least around here it seems like they all have new rigs to drive. But nm is more or less a welfare state anyway.

He did know he was paying that grocery bill, that is why he was pissed.
He actually told the cashier to hit that other button on his total as well, but that don't work with just any debit card.
He has two kids of his own to support.
And yes, they probably went out an climbed in a newer car/truck than he was driving.
Their pride is "I am getting over on the system".
