In one of the forums I belong to there is a discussion about taxes and how they are going to keep going up, guess what they are, at least until this war is over and we stop spending money on it. I keep hearing about how all of the Democratic ideas are going to cost us tons of money, guess what, if the war is over, the trillions of dollars that is going to that can go to all of these ideas, there may even be some left over!
I don’t think that Americans really know what the government is spending on the war, war is expensive and people take advantage of that. Trust me it does not cost a billion dollars to build a few tanks. There paying not just for equipment but for the solders to be there, there paying for there food and housing, think about it. Way too much is being spent on another country and we the citizens of the United states are put on the back burner, as our country goes into a recession, our president only cares about his oil stock and trying to make himself look good in the history books, guess what it’s not going to happen, give up!
My biggest pet peeve is that people complain about paying there taxes, but they want these services that taxes provide, the public school system, roads, bridges and so on. If we don’t pay taxes for them they will NOT be there!
Maybe we could switch to a private school system so that only the rich will get an education, pretty much we can go back to medieval times and live like that. Since doing private schools would probably cost parents around $10,000 per child, per year. Do you pay that in taxes? Probably not.
I’m only 24 and I get it. Stop being so greedy money is not everything, if you have enough to put a roof over your head, have a running car and food, then you have enough to live on, get rid of the other home and the 3 vacations a year and try living on minimum wage. You don’t like that idea do you?

Before you start ranting on something, I would suggest that you do your research and watch what you post back to back.
First, you do yourself a disservice ranting about taxes, money and how people should live like you on minimum wage right after you posted how you do not have enough money or credit for a newer car. That makes you sound quite ignorant and a hypocrite.
Second, the war is expensive. Congrats on realizing that. Perhaps if you did more research you wouldn’t be so hot on making certain more money is being spent on new concepts by either the Republicans or Democrats rather than less money.
At the age of 24, you are in that illustrious category of Americans that will have to work until they die and pay massive taxes while doing it. Social Security is insolvent (you won’t get any nor will I) and the projected debt load you will need to pay annually is about $175,000 for your part of the $50 trillion dollar hole the nation is in. A large part of this guilt rests on the Democrat party. Just look back at their voting records for the last 50 years to track it.
As for people whining about their taxes, all of the services you mentioned are not related to the income tax. Those are paid for by the property taxes of the states. The income taxes are largely wasted on interest payments and unconstitutional expenditures. Your alarmist claims show a dire need for better research.
Private schools do not cost $10,000. The norm is around $2,500 to $5,000 depending on where you live. We pay a lot more than that in taxes. Again, do your research.
As for the line of Bush is doing it more for oil money, congrats on falling for that PR line. Anyone related to the oil industry can flat out tell you the “war for oil” is one of the biggest lies out there. The cost of the “war for oil” far exceeds any potential profit. But suckers are plentiful for misleading sound bites.
Lastly regarding your “trust me” line, incorrect statements, massive over reactions, and a noticeable difficulty with the English language strains the ‘trust’ level. I would suggest typing up your comments in a word processor before posting them. It would help on using the correct version of ‘there’, ‘their’, or ‘they’re’.
Sounds like you need to get a better education. Right now these are the babblings of an ignorant kid.
Oh, one more thing before I leave. Good luck “chirstmas shopping”, the rest of us will be doing our Christmas Shopping. Spell & grammar check your categories. If you choose to pursue writing, you’ll need to improve your “writeing.”

Well I’m glad you have a job where you have time to check your spelling, I have classes and I make my living from blogging. Because I can’t find a job because of our president! Yes I understand it looks better to have good grammar, but this is my blog and if I want to spell something wrong I can! If you don’t like it, please don’t return. I try to spell check and I try to grammar check, again I don’t have time between school, blogging and trying to find a job which I have to drive at least an hour to do.
Do I have a right to be pissed! YES I do. Do I have a right to state my opinion, YES I do. You also have a right to state yours, that is why this comment was published. I’m a unintelligent 24 year old? NO, just because I can’t spell doesn’t mean anything.
As for my research, much of that rant was an opinion I have gotten from what I have read. So yes I have done my research and last time I checked my blog was not a school paper. As for the private school thing, I did check that out, if we got rid of PUBLIC schools it would cost about that much per person to school there children. That includes, books, tuition, transportation, uniforms and all the other expenses related to school.
As for the way I post, again this is my blog and I can post whatever I want to! Yes I did make a post about how I can’t afford to buy a new car, yet I’m not complaining about paying taxes, I’m complaining because others who have money don’t want to pay taxes. Where am I a hypocrite?
Anyway I’m done with this now, I have other things to do that are much more important than arguing.
