Tis the Season

Beware, Beware, You may not see them, but I promise you they are there. They are on everything we purchase and everything we use, Federal, state, and local, we all must pay our dues. Gimme, gimme, gimme, I want a little more, Is what you hear them saying, from sea to shining shore. Big brother is here to help me, he promised me he would, Just sign your paycheck over, it will make you feel so good. You don’t need no money, we’ve got you covered son, It felt like armed robbery, but I didn’t see the gun. A brand new car it sits right there, while I enjoy the air, I can’t afford to drive it, I even had to sell the spare. They want to run my budget, which only they know how to do, Red is their favorite color, when balancing it for you. I’ve never made a million, but they say that’s what I owe, And they won’t accept my check, but they will accept my dough. I remember hearing of a tea party in Boston long ago, Instead of Republicans or Democrat parties, how about a “tea party,” don’t you know? Maybe this new party would have the peoples interest at heart, We really do need change and what a wonderful place to start.

I had to add this, we should only get what we have worked for...I don't believe we should give to someone who has never paid taxes, that is messed up....my thoughts....wonder if we could go to their country, and get taken care of? Probably not, what do you think? If this is voted in, then the ones that vote for it should adopt them, and take care of them out of their own pocketbook......that might work, always, Christy

change to see tax dollars work for us and not find it's way into the off shore bank accounts of the rich. give us health care and an infrastructure to get there. the all seeing eye has a hand in this, Chaos is there way. for the one world government with everyone making equal pay.
