(sigh) And we, the taxpayer, provide funds for these ill-contrived attempts at global peacemaking.....yet medicare is going to be bankrupt by 2019 and SS by 2042....talk about not knowing where to place your efforts. We're just slaves man.....in truth, honestly, is it not practically a feudal system.....we the peasants make a pittance and they take from us, allow us to 'purchase' a small piece of land to raise our kin, yet under eminent domain, we truly own nothing and the rights to the minerals 6 feet below our parcel belong to someone else......we continue to pay, the feudal lords continue to tax, we make a little more, they naturally take more. We take our taxed earnings and attempt to buy something and they assess a fee for the purchase. We take a risk and buy something with no guaranteed value, it appreciates, and they tax us on the capital gain.......and if you begin to earn enough that you could achieve financial freedom, they tax you even harder....to keep you from breaking out of the throws of peasantry.....
There are soo many people who say "Love it or fucken leave it man.....America.....yeah....U-S-A U-S-A...."yet their effective tax rate is usually in the 10 percentile range or less......and perhaps IQ on a similar scale......serve your country.....I serve my country every week, I bend over and watch them rape my wallet.....week after week, year after year....paying into pots that I will never collect from...unemployment....social security.....its a farce.
