You are preaching something

I've been on about for a long time. Taxes hurt the middle class and poor people no matter who the tax is levied on.

Over the years there have been innumerable measures to shift the tax burden to the wealthy with no mention or maybe

no realization that the burden is just going to take money away from the working people. I wonder if it isn't done

that way on purpose, most people don't see beyond the end of their noses. I wonder how many realize what you and I

both are harping about, that the tax dollars always come from the consumer and we are the consumer? The solution,

the only real solution is to cut taxes, period! The only way to do that is to cut government. The alternative is an

ever increasing tax burden on each and every person in the US. Sooner or later something has to give as tax dollars

are not a bottomless well to draw from.

On another related subject, today I gave two presentations to high

school freshman classes on the subject of educational goals. One of the topics covered was earning a living and how

much it takes to live in today's world. The figures for expenses were deflated about 30% yet it clearly

demonstrated that you cannot live in any reasonable fashion on minimum wage, not and pay taxes, have health

insurance and a decent car. Why do we have a minimum wage if you cannot afford to eat and keep a roof over your head

while working?
