I Pay Alot For My So Called Freedom

Have you noticed the taxes that are charged on your phones, home, cell and 
computer internet etc. Our homes are taxed each year, our cars, and our purchases.
Groceries are taxed; we don't even have the right to eat without the government 
being at the table! We are taxed if we marry, taxed if we divorce and Your 
underwear even has been taxed by the government....That means Wener has 
already had his way with every women in the USA....PLEASE!!!

Elections are a moot point when there is an electoral college in place
The college can be bought and sold for a high price
When the group decides another member is no longer useful,
Disposal comes to mind and an accidental death, you know what I mean.

Time and time again the college does not support the popular vote.
How can we the people go about changing this law of our land?
It should be fair; the people should have their voice as our governmental laws 
should be obeyed by all. No raises for government workers if the unemployment 
rate is over four percent. Especially senate and representatives should not be in 
government to make themselves better financially while our nation eats 
commodities.

Family values are threatened when a separated or unwed couple can get help in 
time of need from the government but a married couple cannot!! Their income will be 
a little too high....

God Bless the USA.... Though I know he did not make this mess!!

Governments are a sham. Too bad for the rest of us just trying to get by. Can only get worse the way things are going.
