Aliens

What is it about ILLEGAL that our government does not get. There are laws on the books that make entering this country with out permission ILLEGAL, yet the feds will not enforce it. Enter Arizona, they pass a state law so thay can deal with all of the issues that come with illegal's by trying to cut the problem off before it gets worse and everyone, including someone else's elected leaders, are lambasting them for it. Illegals cost our country A LOT of money every year. Medical, education, food, housing, tax refunds, etc.
I wonder if anyone knows that in Mexico it is Illegal to enter their country, Illegal to work there with out a visa and even if you move there and buy a business you CAN NOT work in your own shop if a native mexican is qualified and available to work there. You go to prison, Mexican prison, no tv's, lounge chairs, computers, steak dinners like our prisons if you break these laws.
WOW, maybe we should all leave, become citizens of mexico then sneak back here. We would have it made.

health care underhaul

Soooooo. The great health care overhaul is going to actually cost more money not save it. That must be what the great and powerful Pelosi was talking about when she said vote for it and we will see what is in it. Pay no attention to the idiot behind the curtain. Who would have thought they were lying to us.

Tax Freedom Day

The National Tax Freedom day is approaching fast. No I am not talking about the April 15th deadline for filing your personal income tax return. I am not talking about the day that taxes will be abolished (none of us will live long enough to see that day). I am talking about the day that the average taxpayer quits working for the federal, state and local government. The average tax payer will work until April 9th before you have earned enough to pay you annual tax obligations. After the 9th you can finally use your hard earned dollars to pay for your personal expenses and then maybe save a penny or two for the proverbial rainy day. The reality is that we pay more in taxes than we spend on food, clothing and shelter (Per the March 2010 Tax Foundation Special Report).
These calculations do not take into consideration the current year's deficit. If the federal government were to try and collect enough tax revenue to offset the deficit, it would extend Tax Freedom day to May 17 (another 38 days).
The Tax Freedom day takes into consideration all taxes paid at the federal, state and local level. The average American in 2010 works a little over 99 days to pay for taxes:
· 32 days to pay federal, state and local income tax
· 25 days to pay for social insurance taxes
· 15 days for sales and excise taxes
· 12 days to cover property taxes
· 8 days for corporate taxes (taxes passed onto consumers)
· 6 days to cover miscellaneous other taxes
· 12 hours for estate and gift taxes


Happy day for us. Wait until next year when they raise our taxes to pay for the trillions they are short last year and this. Tax freedom day will be later for sure.
