Raise my taxes anymore and I'm all for a revolution. If I work 52 hours a week, I take home the exact same amount of money as if I work 43 hours. If I can open up a business and finally not have to work so much, some idiot or, should I say "50%," thinks I should pay more taxes so that I can't stay in business. I've been down that road and now work for someone else again. I've lived been on both sides to both extremes. From homeless to well off and back to the middle class. I had over 30 employees at one time, all hard workers. "I" provided them jobs. "I" provided them medical. "I" cared for them. ME.
Thanks to California, the economy and all the TAXES, "I" can no longer do that, and the people "I" took care of are now being taken care of the government- unemployment and welfare. If my TAXES weren't so high I might still be in business and the GOVERNMENT wouldn't have to take care of hard working people. Lower taxes means more jobs. More jobs means less unemployment and welfare.
I always thought that if there were ever a revolution or civil war, I wouldn't really know who to shoot or go after. I now have my answer. Thanks Knotch I'm not a Right wing extremist or part of any religious organization but I have life experience to tell it like it is. There's a lot of knowledge out there but many people haven't applied it or lived it. I have.
Cut spending.
If I can only afford to pay my employees $24.00 per hour and provide $180 for medical per month per employee, plus only a certain amount of money for TAXES, And I can only afford to provide Ford F-150's for all of them, Would I be a RETARD if I went out and bought F-250's? If I can only afford the the house I have, should I buy another one and cut the take home pay of my employees? YOU, my friend need to get YOU'RE head out of YOU'RE arse!!!
