Taxes Destroying Middle Class
| Mon, 10-11-2004 - 2:09pm |
Currently over 50% of everything my husband and I earn is paid in taxes: federal and state income, social security, property, gasoline, and sales taxes. John Kerry cannot keep all the promises he has made without raising taxes. The Democrats are determined to "kill the goose that laid the golden egg" - if Kerry wins, they will succeed! John Edwards complains about two America's, but he advocates for government that will result in two America's: the very rich like the Kerrys/Edwards/Kennedys/Hollywood movie stars who have made their fortunes and use tax loopholes to avoid taxes - and the rest of us who will be forced to depend on government programs because we do not have enough money after taxes to save for our own retirment and health plans.

Here's a thought -- how about letting the market decide what a job is worth?

Disclaimer: Our family definitely does not earn $200K per year so I don't have a dog in this fight EXCEPT I know that my middle class family will eventually have to pick up the slack if we elect a president who promises the world with no plan to pay for his promises except to impose confiscatory taxes on the wealthy.
