I love the US and never even thought I would consider leaving, but this shit is starting to really piss me off. All it takes is 1 look at my tax returns and I get a knot in my stomach.

This is just a list off the top of my head and is being posted just because it's on my mind, so feel free to add things!

Tax increases. To over 50% for me, meaning I work for the government more than myself.

Universal health care. I'll be forced onto a healthcare plan that will force me to pay my employee for healthcare, a plan that Obama refused to comment on when asked if he would subject his children to this coverage. Oh and congress get's their own seperate coverage.

Cash for clunkers. No link needed, this shit is retarded and is pointless spending.

Punishing success and rewarding laziness. Without trying to sound like a bad person, I HATE the fact that my tax dollars go to people who don't work. Maybe the goverment could come up with programs where these people will get paid in exchange for some sort of duty, but giving people money for nothing is ABSURD. Every person has the opportunity to do whatever they want with themselves.

Talks about another stimulus? I'll from memory quote Einstein on this one, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

Socialism. 1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.


If I just sound like someone who's bitching, fuck off. This US is going downhill, FAST.

note: I don't consider myself either Republican or Democrat.

Feel free to watch the rest.
 
Yep, it's getting really FUCKED up, our taxes here are high aswell, it's bullshit.
 
hong kong is where you wanna be, just make sure to bring a mask cuz of all the sars n shit.

I think it's a flat 14% tax for everybody, no rising scale for the wealthier.
 
I am getting really sick of political threads. I remember a simpler time when it was just boobs and noobs from DP.
 
I am turning you in...

You cant talk about the great Obama and the government like that! They are keeping a list of people like you.

I heard about this in the news conference today. Apparently Obama wants a list of all the people, including their email addresses, that are bad mouthing or talking against this ridiculous health insurance bill. Fucking Stalinist shit over here now. I hate getting into political discussions, but this is getting to be one fucked up situation. Hope for a better Change.
 
I try to not pay attention to politics so im not 100% sure my views are correct, but..

Cash for clunkers is stepping over the line. Not only do I pay higher tax than low income people, now im buying their shitty cars from them. Oh, right after I just bought them all flat screen tv's with that POS stimulus check. Im going to be paying for their healthcare now too. And their drug addiction that they spend their welfare check on? I feal like they are stealing my money and giving it to people who choose to suck at life.

Yeah.. fuck this.
 
yep... agree on all those points.

the only thing good about it all is that it might be keeping me from getting carjacked when i drive downtown. for now.

Obama loves to transfer wealth from 'Producers' to 'Consumers'.
Just keep bankin' and the money will flow from those losers right back to you. He may be able to create Robin Hood laws but he can't keep the fools from being parted from their money (see sig).
 
Add more reasons and make sure to back them up with some sort of source. When my friends ask me why I'm so uptight and easily flip a shit when I hear about the gov't, I'll point them to this thread.
 
Hannity was a useless mouthpiece for the last administration.

Both Dem & Repub controlled governments suck bad.

WTF - why does anyone want these jackasses controlling their lives?

You started a whole thread on dreaming about wide open spaces. Go buy some acreage and turn it into some kind of bullshit tree farm. Did you know you can one-time depreciate up to $30,000/year on "farm equipment"? That could be a badass truck one year, and trailer and some four wheelers the next, etc. Build a kick ass "equipment shed" with a compressor and a lift. Spend some time looking into it and talk to your accountant. In no time you'll be failing at farming, building equity in your property and have some cool shit sitting around the yard.

Once you're having a blast riding the 4-wheelers you're writing off around the ranch and getting checks back from Uncle Sam for at least .30 on the dollar for taxes paid, then you'll probably shut the fuck up about a lot of things wrong with this country.
