It's ...I think it's the same the world over, Jack. It's the same here in Australia...too many politicians all lining their pockets at the taxpayer's expense and of course, a Govt job is a lifetime tenure with no hard work involved. Years ago, I worked for six months in a Govt Dept, then left. I couldn't stand the work ethic, or what passed for work ethic.Puss-in-Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313418336654760327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5063192958398676082.post-86632404687732059722009-02-03T11:56:00.000-06:002009-02-03T11:56:00.000-06:00I dare say only about 35% max of the US population...I dare say only about 35% max of the US populations pay taxes, the rest 65% are children, unemployed, elderly, and wealthy individuals who have accountants to tell them how to avoid taxes. <BR/><BR/>(Out of the 35%, I dare say 10% are illegal immigrants who contribute to payroll taxes and SS accts which they stole from. No news want to report this of course.)<BR/><BR/>So you think about the spending of the US government in military and all sorts of things, think about the tax income from individuals and corporates (but remember this is a country where corporations like Enron could balloon its profit to benefit the shareholders but not the govt due to many loopholes), think about the deficit of trade, now it's easy to see that things don't add up. Where did the govt get their money from?<BR/><BR/>The biggest scam is, "from tax payers money". What a nonsense. Every cent they get from you and I is barely enough to pay the Interest of the loans they are servicing. <BR/><BR/>And they are going to borrow more money.<BR/><BR/>But this is nothing new though. The US govt has been using the same approach to squeeze out developing nations since the 50s. It is the same game, but the lenders are different this time.The Real Mother Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13226727195920798035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5063192958398676082.post-40642669107997898262009-02-03T11:26:00.000-06:002009-02-03T11:26:00.000-06:00We have way, way too much government.
