Taxes are the Tyranny of the Liberals, and they get caught up with them too

Taxes are all the rage these days. Actually, taxes have been all the rage for centuries. People from across the planet in just about every modern (and pre-modern) century have decried about taxes. From the high taxes and levies from ancient China to the unfair taxation that lead to the American Revolution, taxes have moved people to action in order to stop the tyranny

Well, now we have a new kind of tyranny One in which moved enough of our Founding Fathers to take action. But now we have a problem. We have high taxes again and this time the powers that be don't see a need to reduce them, change them or make them more fair and respectable.

In fact we have a significant number who think that we are not paying enough in taxes. But that is not where this post is going. We all know how taxes force millions of families to work harder and longer than they should just to make ends meet. Well, OK so there are other reasons for the current economic woes including people biting off more than they can chew economically.

But that is what happens when you build an economy on taxes and spending. The citizens take a cue from their government. Our government wants more money so it taxes us. They use that money to spend and spend and spend. In fact, our governments need for cash is so huge that they will take something that does not belong to them.

Our government will tax us on everything. And if we don't pay what they say we have to pay, then they can put us in jail, make us pay ridiculous penalties and fees and even take what belongs to us.

It seems that Aretha Franklin is about to lose her home to property taxes. Yes I know. She is not all that different from many other stars of history that have built up a huge sum in back taxes. Well not in this case. Reports indicate that the Queen of Soul could lose her $700,000 home for about$1,000 in back property taxes. And the reports go around the world which makes the US look like stupid over taxed imbeciles

Before you run off and say too bad for the rich, think about this. Your neighbor, your parents or grandparents, even you could lose your home for the same amount or less.

You pay for something with all your hard work. You spend thousands of dollars in maintenance, improvements, etc. Then a Sheriff Deputy shows up at your door one day and says for less than a months wages you will lose your home. The government is going to take it, auction it and let someone else have it for about the same amount you paid your lawyer to help you buy the place.

Come on, that makes no sense. It has nothing to do with the fact that she or you did not pay a few hundred dollars in taxes on your property. The fact is, government spend so much that they need your money no matter how they get it, they will get it.

So in reality, you own nothing. The government owns everything. Even after you pay for it and care for it and improve it, the government can still take it should you decide to or be unable to pay a few bucks in taxes in order to keep it.

You may think I am being a little alarmist but how many times have you heard about someone losing their car or collections or other possessions do to unpaid or back income taxes? This is just proof that even what you own, you really do not own.

I know that any government can get their money through other means but they chose to take peoples possessions. Possessions in which they worked hard to get. Your home is no different. You pay thousands of dollars over the years, maybe even a million or so after you pay all the interest and the government can just step in take it, and then kick you out? How fair is that for anyone? A $700,000 home for less than 2 grand?

This is the very thing that our Founding Fathers would not stand for. This is the sort of thing they would rail against and even take up arms. I am not saying we need to take up guns and take on our government. Indeed not.

We have the ability to vote for the people who will do what is fair and right. But if you keep voting for people who will tax the hell out of you and then take your stuff should you be unable to pay those taxes, then you deserve to lose your stuff.

Undoubtedly, Miss Franklin is a Democrat Liberal. So she is now reaping the rewards of her vote since Liberals tend to be the biggest tax and spend people in our nation. But no matter what party your candidate belongs to, you need to make them understand that this sort of tyranny will not be tolerated.

Your possessions are yours. You paid for them. Taxing them forever is not right, it is not moral and taking them for a fraction of their value is nothing short of steeling. You or I would be locked up for doing what the government is doing.

This election season we need to tell the politicians, it's my money and I should get to keep it.
