LIBERAL NONSENSE
7-26-11

So many liberals have been writing so much nonsense in this paper lately that the only way to properly respond to them would require more space than is available here but I’m compelled to pick away at some of it anyway.

The most recent statement of nonsense is from John Sniezyk and includes, but is not limited to, this gem: “Not wanting to pay taxes is like not wanting to maintain your home…”  

Well, who “wants” to pay taxes? The only certainties in life are death and taxes. We will pay taxes just as we will someday die, so why does “wanting” have any place in the debate - unless you don’t pay any taxes (LIKE MOST LIBERALS) and feel guilty about it.

The reality is that most people who pay taxes understand the necessity and want to do their part. But what they (we) are against is extreme taxation that becomes a tool of oppression.

And speaking of not wanting to maintain your home, I know I speak for a lot of people who pay high property taxes and would love to have some of that money back so they can paint their house or install some insulation (Not to mention maybe put their kids in a private school).

It’s not a matter of wanting - it’s about being able. As property taxes are not based on a person’s ability to pay, when you experience a reduction in your income and cannot pay the tax, the government will take your home away. But even those who’ve been paying their property taxes through their mortgage escrow are experiencing the pain of oppressive taxation, because while their monthly payment is going up, the home’s value is going down proportionately.

Facts that liberals don’t seem to understand; All tax revenue comes from private enterprise. Without it there would be no jobs. Without jobs there be no income to tax. Without such virgin tax revenue there would be no way to pay the extremely liberal state employees and their contemporaries who incessantly write that these facts aren’t true. They bite the hand that feeds them.
