Tax Day

April 15, the always infamous Tax Day. The day Americans pay what their government believes that they owe. It is not that the American people have a problem with paying taxes, we all know the saying "You can be certain about two things in life: death and taxes." Jesus commands us in Matthew 22:21 to "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and give to God to what is God's." Paying taxes to keep a government running is not inherently bad, it helps to keep our ruling body in order. It pays for Police, military, and roads which we all enjoy and appreciate.

The problem that the American people have today with Tax Day is the amount that their taxes have grown to, the rich are being penalized and the poor incentivized. Between the Stimulus bill and Health Care bill, the American people are having to pay more taxes than ever before with the amount increasing and increasing the longer the Progressives are allowed to stay in Washington. Yesterday our National Debt stood at $12,831,193,383,690.69, you know who is going to have to pay that off? My generation and the generation after me! We also do not appreciate the things that our tax money is going to fund: ACORN, Planned Parenthood, and the UN. Also, taxes are not meant to be charitable donations, they are meant to keep the government running.

I spent this evening at the South Florida Tea Party outside the Palm Beach County Courthouse. Hundreds of patriots and concerned Americans are showing what they think of Obama, Pelosi, and all of the other crazy Liberals who are running our nation into the ground by running up the deficit. Several young people from ages 10-20 spoke to this crowd about their concern for the out of control spending that is taking place in Washington. It is going to be the young that are going to have to work to turn our country around and America needs to listen to their not-so-small voices.
In November, let's send Pelosi and Reid to that unemployment line that they voted our taxes to fund!
