Ok – so our taxes buy services, roads, prisons, pay salaries etc. We don’t have a choice about where our money goes, whose salaries are paid and when and how much they’re increased. And most are taken out of our pay checks before we see them.
,,,and folks have a problem with mandatory healthcare?

But in the long run…. what are WE going to do about any of it?

The US will ALWAYS butt our noses in other countries where we have no business being, doesn’t matter if they have the best supplies in that country, what they do there is their business, as long as they don’t bring it here!

The “people” will ALWAYS complain about the President, not matter who it is. Every election year it is always the same thing “this guys didn’t do what he said he was going to do”

We NEED to take care of our own, our homeless, our drug problem, our toughest cities, our overpopulation, the people here in our country that take advantage of the system, our overpopulated prisions (I vote for the death penalty… if youa re convicted of the crimes and scentenced to Life or and over abundance odf years which equilates to Life, you get 4 years to prove your innocence and then you are euthanized, no more overpopulation!!

SECURE OUR BORDERS FIRST!!! GET RID OF THE UNDOCUMENTED PEOPLE THAT HAVE COME HERE ILLEGALLY!!! SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF OUR RESOURCES!

(“the war at home”) …. its too radical and it will never happen. we are all jsut wasting our breath. The country will never change. There is nothing we can do about it, sit back and take it. But hey, it could be worse. We could live over there in that other opressed country.

I think that its just sad that prisons get more of the tax money than our firefighters do

Why are we paying to run motels for inmates. We pay for everything they get. Instead of putting them in a/c in the summer time and heat in the winter put them out in the weather. There are too many homeless people who would love to have a place to stay and three meals a day.
I know several young men who have been to presion and when they got out know more ways to steal from people than they did before they went in. All presion is is a training ground to bread more criminals. Lets not forget there are a few politican in there also.
Please invest my money in more housing for the homeless and less on criminals. Just one mans opinion.

So, what do you suggest? Maybe that we are all euthanized when we can no longer pay for war, welfare and government waste?
We have all put in years and years of paying taxes and the attitude of younger people towards the older is so condescending and rude.
Guess what, you will hopefully one day think back to when you were young and wish for the day where you could work and not have to struggle on a fixed income to survive. You will remember when you could get into a car and go food shopping or walk up a flight of stairs with no pain. Then maybe you will think about the callous comment you made here.
The waste of our tax money should be what is really bothering you.

The only reason we have to pay interest is because Congress foolishly hired a broker to handle the money duties instead of taking care of it directly themselves like our forefathers instructed them to do.

The Broker? it’s called The Federal Reserve. It is a completely independent and private company owned by private individuals.

Your interest portion goes directly into these individuals pockets.
