Taxed Enough Already! O-Government!

What we have here is O-Govt. in 'puppy love' with everything government and a colossal failure to communicate American-style

What’s so taxing about O-Govt.? Let me count ways!

From day one, this administration has taken! Mostly they have taken advantage of the American spirit of independent hospitality and self-reliance. Here in America we expect mutual, on-your-honor behavior. I expect an Oath-Taker to be an Oath-Keeper!  For all my Patchers waiting to hear my response, here it is Mr. Keach (love-that-guy).

Heard one of the richest counties in America is the one which includes Washington D.C.! Oh? Could that be one of the places where our tax-money’s going!

Let’s talk taxes. It’s a cloudy area for the ‘let’s be precise’ O-Govt. because you see they are very good at telling you what they think you wish to hear, which is ‘no taxes.' Or better yet ‘lower taxes’. The latter just sounds better, I don’t know why. 

So taxes exist and increase even when there is a claim that they are lower For instance, if the value of the dollar goes down, all the while, the prices on food, gas, cotton, parking, insurances, to name a few household essentials, the existing tax on such, actually goes up!

Look at the anticipatory effects of what is happening with health insurance. I can tell you ours when up 35 percent! Did the heavy hand of O-Govt. directly contact my carrier and force them to raise our rates? No, the reaction to O-Govt. regulatory intrusion CAUSED the increase. It caused our income to be reduced. If you want to admit the general impact, it’s a taxing situation! 

O-Govt.  is ‘Grand Theft in Progress’, stealing the prosperity of America! What’s up? The cost of gas is up and staying up even when crude goes down (and what’s up with shutting down our domestic operations in the entire Gulf of Mexico? Who does that!?)

The cost of food is up. The number of jobless American citizens is up. The anxiety level is up and O-Govt. marketing campaigns are keeping it that way. The entitlement roster is up. The empty, hollow space in my pocket is bigger, even the change is gone!

The tax is not only on our incomes (because that is the net effect of all the above) but also on our motivations and mindset. The deliberate expansion of government is taxing our entire system.

What we have here is O-Govt. in ‘puppy love’ with everything government and a colossal failure to communicate American-style. These O-folks are way globalist. They won’t stop spending or taxing until they have 100 percent of our income because, after all they have the ‘whole world’ in their hands!

Their uppity academe bumps into their interdependent-enabling which creates Third World millionaires with borderless dreams and flee market degrees, all paid for with generous U.S. of A. taxpayer greenbacks. Now that’s what reading too many Clinton Global Initiatives, Despot-Dreamer’s speeches and U.N. meeting reports will get you!         

Is that the intent? Is O-Govt. purposely creating this ‘taxing’ environment by over spending? Since there is no indication that O-Govt. plans to curtail their spending so, seems to me it’s pretty much deliberate.

Take, take, take, but… if there is one thing the O-Govt. can NEVER take, tax, or deny, it is the true-grit American spirit, the undeniable one, The Spirit of ’76!  We have no time for an ‘entitle-man’ who ‘leads from behind’!

Independence is our perpetual solace, that insatiable peace of individual liberty is within us… adversity is only its temporary delay.  For Americans, (oppressive) O-Govt. represents adversity in its finest form! Inspired by the splash of tea-filled crates, ride on Mr. Revere, Ride On! Taxed  Enough  Already?

Thanks Mr. Keach, for being so curious! God Bless! Becky Lynch (a.k.a. cLYNCHer)
