Timing is everything, right?
Yesterday, like many – err, make that some Americans, I was putting the finishing touches on my 2012 tax returns (which are due in a couple of days).
Like some – err, make that a few Americans, I have to pay income taxes.
Yesterday morning I swallowed hard and wrote out the check … the big check.
Lots of money … at least half of it will be out-and-out wasted by a cost-bloated government machine,
Most of the rest will be spent on stuff that I don’t agree with or support.
OK, it’s still my civic duty, right?
Tried to put taxes out of my mind.
Then, President Obama unveils his new budget.
The chart below tells the story.
Lots of taxes and some phony “savings” against grossly escalating budgets.
Bottom line: those who already paying all the taxes should pay even more …
Couldn’t the President at least had the courtesy of waiting for the ink to dry on my check before calling me out as a piker and saying I wasn’t paying my fair share.
Gimme a break, man.
You’re making ME want to stop working …
