Is there no end to the Imperial Federal Government? No end to unabated thievery? No end to indentured servitude?
The House version increases non-defense, non-emergency spending by $22.5 billion for the next fiscal year, with such spending rising 2.4 percent in each of the next three years. To pay for these increases, the resolution raises taxes close to $400 billion over five years — about $100 billion more than what the Senate passed.
The breakdown of the bill on the House floor today (resembling the Senate version) raises taxes an average of $1,795 on 115 million taxpayers in 2011. Some 26 million small-business owners would average $3,960 more in taxes. The decreased number of Americans actually subject to income taxes will all be paying higher taxes, and 5 million low-income Americans will be returned to the rolls.
They take ever increasing sums of our money and shovel it into the gaping maw of federal bureaucracy and the pockets of their political sycophants and it pisses me off. If it doesn’t piss you off you’re an idiot.
