Government & Money

This may seem a bit disjointed, but since I am so simple-minded, I figured I would release a thought on this tax stuff, unions in government, and common sense.

My first question to the Wisconsin protesters and other states with fiscal issues:  Where do you think the government gets most of its money?  TAXES.  From people WHO WORK.  If people do not work, they cannot pay taxes; then, no money for stupid government programs or YOUR State PENSIONS.  If you keep raising your pension plan contribution from tax money, you will tax yourself and your state to oblivion.  Are you that stupid? 

2.  In my state we pay some of the highest taxes in the country.  Where does this money go?  Why cannot the administrators we elect manage the money?  Greed?  Stupidity?  Lack of education? 

3.  I have to cut out items from my personal budget to make ends meet.  Why cannot people agree that stupid government programs should be cut, and so “tighten the belt” a bit until things improve?  Do we have to fund, with our tax money, unnecessary programs while necessary infrastructure needs maintaining? 

Help me out folks.  I’m at a loss in understanding your need for government support.  Why do you need someone else to take care of you?  Are you incompetent?
