Me too. But I bet the cynics will say we are lying.
I have never resented paying taxes even though I know that some of them are going for things that I do not approve of. The rest -- and hopefully the lion's share -- are going for services that I and/or my fellow citizens rely on.
It seems like the whiners are usually people who have much more than enough to live on. My brother was once ranting about how much he and his real estate agent wife had paid in federal taxes (only) the year before. It was more than twice my annual income! I failed to find any sympathy in my heart.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.
