To all those marching in three cornered hats, here is Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution. Powers of Congress- The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States:***It continues with things like borrowing money for credit and regulating trade with foreign nations. So lets cut all the crap about how taxes are unconstitutional. We may not like them but we need them. A bit like cough medicine, sometimes.

Are you fed up with Taxes? No, really?

A message to all those who have taken to the streets recently, in protest of big government and too many taxes. First of all, I am curious to know whom amongst you is really paying more taxes than your were 5 years ago? That aside, you want to protest something? Try this. A guy who flips burgers in the green zone of Iraq for one of the government's (no-bid) contracted companies earns around $84,000 a year. A guy fixing refrigerators about $130,000. And do you know who is paying for that work. You! Because our last administration saw fit to hand out these contracts to non-government, (aka private) contractors to do the work of an over stretched military in a region of the world the US military should not even be in. You want to protest that? I am right behind you.
