tax revolt

QQQball, it all comes down to accepting personal responsibility. Unfortunately, the media, hollywood, government itself (!!!!!) and common public perceptions foster the view that someone else is responsible.

You said it, brother!

Also, by letting people escape their problems elsewhere, we are destroying their incentive to improve their OWN society. If these folks care about having a better life, why don't they stay home and do something about it there? Viva la revolución!

If they are living under a dictator or a two-class system, let 'em rise up and change their own world. Hell, worked for us.
 
What galls me is when some family from Guatemala comes up here and gets a million dollars worth of free surgery to separate siamese twins while my daughter's birth cost me close to 5 grand WITH PPO insurance yet. I couldn't get a free roll of toilet paper from the hospital and yet any welfare case from other parts of the world suck our medical system's tit for all its worth.

The insurance company busts my balls on every claim but there's plenty of extra resources to service the welfare cases of the world.
 
Let me add my 2 cents. I've been self employed for 25 years. Occasionally I'll need to hire part time help. Two years ago I did just that.
This employee worked 30 hours a week as a helper making 8 dollars an hour, for about 6 months. His wife also had part time work.
When it came to discussing tax refund checks, I was stunned! Together this couple paid into the system a grand total of 2365.00 in taxes. Guess what their refund check was?
4300.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe thats wealth redistribution, or for those educated within the government schools its called "Socialism".
I agree. Things will never change as long as our public educational system keeps turning out "idiots".
We've all seen it. Go to any McDonalds and give the kid 2.03 for a 1.78 bill. If the register doesn't tell them the change, they can't figure it out.
We all shake our heads and laugh and walk away.
Things will never change until people get involved. Those that complain and point out the problems, yet do nothing in an attempt to change them are just as guilty as those that take advantage of the system.
No one goes to School Board meetings. No one exposes the NEA for what they really are. No one gets involved.
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem".
What scares me most, is these idiots will be running the country when I'm about to retire. Now, isn't that a comforting thought?
