Drowning in debt

Drowning in debt " It stands to reason that the only real source of revenue for the federal government is us, the taxpayer. The only way the government can continue to fuel its insatiable appetite is by taxing us more, which in fact is continually the case. But where does it end? When we're taxed at 100 percent? And even then, do you honestly think the money would be used to pay down debt? Get real. I don't think the yahoos in Washington have the faintest clue – not an inkling – of what it's like here on the front lines of Real America. We must rattle the cages of our elected officials as much as possible, demanding fiscal restraint; we must scream and holler and send emails and march in tea-party rallies – but in the meanwhile, you'd better start taking some individual action. Sell the unneeded stuff. Pay off your debts. Take care of yourself. While I won't go so far as to recommend we abandon our vigilance opposing what the government is doing to ruin our nation, I am suggesting there comes a point when we recognize we're banging our heads against a brick wall. What can YOU – Charlie Smith – and YOU – Martha Jones – do to keep our government solvent? Nothing. Not a thing. Zip, zilch, nada. "
