I'm not as concerned with making people pay more taxes as I am with making the government spend less money. The more tax revenue the government gets, the more it will spend. No matter how much people pay in taxes, the government will continue to run up the national debt. It's time people started to realize, taxation has become the government's way of controlling everything.

That’s when she went to the hospital and the SAFE Act kicked in, with an interrogation about whether she owned a gun – which she refused to answer – and what ended up as an erroneous designation as an "involuntary" admission, which can imply mental health issues that trigger a report to the Integrated SAFE Act Reporting System. That started a chain reaction that led to her pistol permit being suspended the following month. And all because of an erroneous report she suspects was triggered by a hospital staffer angry over her refusal to answer the gun questions. https://buffalonews.com/opinion/columnists/rod-watson-want-to-protect-gun-rights-under-safe-act-don-t-get-sick/article_57d117b6-08b2-5127-bf80-840dff4465f4.html

Nobody said money can do no wrong. But letting the government take more money than it needs is surely not the way to make money do good.

When you realize the historical data proves higher taxes produce less total revenue for the government, higher taxes serve no purpose other than to limit the amount of money any one individual can have. High taxes on the rich is a way to cap total income. This is the preferred method of taxation used by the left. Why would the left in government want to do that, knowing it will cause the Treasury to take in less total tax revenue afterwards? Could it be because leftists see a man with "too much money" as seriously dangerous to their socialistic plans?

According to a new analysis from Bloomberg, the average American family will pay more than $5200 dollars this year for basic household items, that's $433 more a month, much more than in the OECD. As President Joe Biden proposes trillions more in federal government spending, Americans will continue to get slammed with rising inflation far beyond what we are experiencing now.

A few here have made the claim it doesn't help the country. Educate yourself before you echo leftist talking points. https://patriotpost.us/videos/87297-thomas-sowell-destroys-the-democrats-anti-trickledown-argument-2022-03-30?mailing_id=6565&utm_medium=email&utm_source=pp.email.6565&utm_campaign=digest&utm_content=body

Here comes the Great Reset. Copied and pasted "I don't think people realized what just happened over the past few days, so I'm going to try to explain what I'm seeing: The Russian central bank pegged 1 gram of gold to 5000 Rubles (currently, about 50 bucks). At the same time, Putin made it so that Russian gas and oil can only be purchased in Rubles. Meaning: Putin basically just pegged Russian oil and gas to gold, using paper rubles as a proxy. Meaning: Europe will need to either buy Rubles from Putin in gold, in order to buy gas and oil, or they will have to buy directly in gold. Which means, there will soon be a lot more demand for rubles. Currently, the forex rate for rubles to dollars is about 100:1. But... with 5000 rubles now equaling 1 gram of gold, and oil being priced directly in gold - you're going to see a massive price disruption in these FOREX markets, in terms of how much gold a dollar can actually still buy. Foreign countries holding our dollar debt notes in reserve will see less of a use for them, and will want to start dumping them, in order to get something more stable, something which holds its value. Basically any currency pegged to gold now will fit the bill. Which means those countries - countries like Japan - will be dumping their dollar debt as fast as they can. They're are NOT going to go down with the ship. And they will move into more stable currencies - like the Ruble. Which will have a deflationary effect on the Ruble, making it more valuable over time. Which means Putin will be able to re-peg the Ruble to Gold at whatever rate he wants, down the line. It's 5000 rubles today. Tomorrow, it might be 500. And then 100. And then 10. This also means all those excess dollars being dumped by foreign nations are about to come home and cause even worse hyperinflation than we're seeing. Is it any wonder Biden is up on stage pleading with Europeans for regime change in Russia? He's about to have masses of angry and starving people marching through the streets here at home, demanding answers." ~Goldilocks
