50% Get something for nothing.

For 47% of Americans tax day means little as they owe nothing or actually make a profit from the tax system.  According to the article found HERE a family of four making $50,000 a year can actually pay nothing.  You say great?  Well think of this,  if you have a system where the majority get something for nothing they will vote for and continue a government that is buried under huge debt and entitlements that we can not sustain.

The government in 2009 will redistribute $109 billion in tax dollars, taking from the tax payer “rich” and giving it to those who pay nothing “poor”.  Be  it through tax credits, EIC or rebates.   The people paying the most get nothing for their hard work except to pay into a system that hands it out to the “underprivileged”.     When too many are on the dole there will be little way to vote in someone that would like to cut spending and we start a quick spiral to untold debt, borrowing and unfunded entitlement programs that will quickly become bankrupt.

There will be little chance of getting true conservatives in to cut spending and entitlements because they will need the votes of the people paying nothing and getting benefits.  It is pretty easy to vote in spending programs and get the people behind you when your fellow citizen is footing the bill.  Why would they care if you or I pay the bill as long as they receive benefits.

It will be hard to convince people that it is in their best interests to cut these huge entitlement programs for the benefit of the nation when they pay nothing in.  The majority will not care if the government is fiscally responsible when they have no dog in the fight.

We need to change the tax system now and quick.  The no going back point of 50% is closing in and there will be little way to reverse it until the country is bankrupt or saddled with more taxes including CAP and Tax or a VAT tax that is now getting serious consideration by the government drunken sailors.

The bleeding heart liberals call this “Social Justice” and turn to the government for so called “charity”.  Well charity comes from within and should be a personal choice.  I should get to choose who I help with how much and when.  The government should not be allowed to take my money and hand it over and then call it charity.   Charity has forever been a personal issue and came from the heart of the individual that chooses to help the less fortunate.  Forced charity is nothing more than Socialism and always fails.

Make it known that you are tired of this and will not stand for it.  Follow the links to the right and write to your congressman, local leaders and make it clear you are done with this system and want change now!
