After reading about the barrage of new taxes that the Gov. of NY wants to impose, I can no longer stay quiet. The economy is faltering, no one would deny that, but what is actually being done to fix things?

Let me be clear, I am not an expert on the economy. I am an average American citizen. I am also irate with our government.  Can someone please tell me the last time the Government was able to efficiently handle the money the generate through taxes? Has there been a time in the last 50 years where they raised taxes and were able to use the increased income to erase the budget deficit?

Maybe they should start reevaluating where they spend their money. I mean, isn’t that what you do when you realize you are spending more than you make.  You sit down and you say, “OK, where am I spending money that I shouldn’t be?” then you adjust you spending habits and see where that leaves you. Once you have chopped all of you “extra” spending if you still come up short you start looking to increase your income.

Not our Government.  They realize they spent too much and they say, “Looks like we went over budget. Lets raise taxes to make more money.” There is no attempt to adjust the spending, their is no attempt to limit the “extra” expenses, their is no attempt. They simple raise taxes, and the sad thing is we pay. We the people, sit by idly and pay.

There are so many things we can do. There are 300 million people in this country. We could start boycotting the new taxed items. We could start petition and protest the absurd tax hikes. Most importantly, we need to start to vote out these politicians that keep raising taxes. The most effective way for our voice to be heard is at the voting booth.

It’s time that we told the politicians that we will not tolerate their antics anymore. We will not put up with their empty promises. We will not believe their lies. Most importantly, we will not give them our vote, we will not allow them the keep the power they have abused for far too long.
