The Absurdity of Raising Taxes
It
seems as though whenever the liberals get into power in government,
they seem to think the solution to everything is to raise taxes. The
first battle cry is that they are only going to raise the taxes of the
evil rich, however anyone who has been around for a while soon realizes
this just isn't true. A tax raise is a tax raise, it affects everyone
and most often it affects the poor more than the wealthy.
Raising the taxes on the wealthy not only raises the cost of everything we purchase and use, but it also places less capital in the economy, resulting in less jobs being created and less capital for investment, thereby stifling our growth. I assume they didn’t take the same economics class I took as a freshman in high school.
Warren Buffet and others seem to think they don’t pay enough taxes, well, there is no law saying they can’t write a check to the IRS and rectify that problem and ease their conscience. In the mean time while Buffet is making those absurd statements, it has been discovered his companies have been shortchanging the IRS. Hypocrisy at it’s finest!
Many people have the misguided notion that by paying more taxes, they are actually helping poor people. I’m not sure where they got this convoluted idea. Most of the money our government supposedly gives to the poor, not only in this country but around the world as well, never reaches it’s intended destination. Most of it winds up in the hands of dishonest government bureaucrats .
At last count we still have two billion dollars earmarked for Haiti that no one can find. Private charities and individuals always do a better job of donating in times of need than the government, because there is less red tape and corruption.
Paying taxes has nothing to do with Charity. Charity comes from the heart, not a faceless government official. When one is forced to give something, it is not charity, it is just a tax that in reality means nothing to the giver or receiver. As a consequence the receiver is often bitter because it wasn’t more.
A personal contribution is just that, personal, it creates a bond between giver and receiver that most often creates an atmosphere of gratefulness in the receiver and a feeling in the contributors heart that he has done something truly worth while.
People need to learn to make their own way, asking for help only when needed, government welfare only creates an atmosphere of need on the part of the recipient, making them a slave to the government, an excellent way for the politicians to garner votes. We have as a nation contributed over a trillion dollars since the 60s to the poor , not only in this country, but around the world, and they are still poor.
There has to be a better way.
