How to get Taxes

How the left makes you want to give up your hard-earned cash

The government is essentially an over-fed cat. It does have its uses, but it has become a liability instead of an asset. I want to state that I do not think that we should throw of this government. However, reforms are need. This cat has found the bag of food is, and is pillaging it. Most surprisingly, we let them do it.

Everybody knows that coming in October of 2012 there will be graphic images on all you cigarette and other tobacco packages. What most people do not know is the reason for the images. It is not because people will quit smoking, rather the real reason behind it is so they can gather taxes. Remember, smokers hear the anti-tobacco ads also. When something is either addictive or necessary you cannot remove it. That would cause riots and hurt approval ratings. So why not tax it in the name of trying to help people get over there addition.

We see this happening in Europe. Many European countries, including the UK, Germany, Switzerland and cites including Landon, Paris and Vienna, have adopted measures unashamedly aimed at keeping cars offer the road.  Include in these measures are closing roads, charging hefty fees for driving, keeping gas prices high ($8/Gallon) and restricting the number of parking spaces available. The reason is that they want to cut down on pollution. Or so they say. It really is an attempt to be able to charge more taxes. My condolences to all the Europeans.

However, the United States is not exempt. Besides smoking, you have other things that the government demonizes so they can tax even more. Alcohol, gasoline, energy, oil, pesticides, chemicals, cars, planes, rich people, light bulbs, soda (they are trying), and much, much more.

You put it all together and it is crazy. You pay an excise tax to use the road when you buy gas, cars and licenses, and still tollbooths exist.  When you average it out you pay about 49.5 cents per gallon in taxes at the pump (no remember the government taxes heavily the production, refinement and transportation of gas.) Why? “Because cars pollute and we want people to buy more energy efficient vehicles.” Nevertheless, you can make a lot more money if we all drive SUVs.

Remember who the government is. They are people and people are prone to try to line their own pockets. People are inherently evil, that is a fact. I have seen many people and they are all bad. Admit it anyone can be a politician. There is only one solution and that is Christ. Christ will change the heart that no one else can. He does make all the difference. I am not ashamed of Christ. He is my Lord.

The only way to change government is to change those in power. This is something that must be done with the help of God. He can, and He is willing.

Romans 10:9,10,13 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. ¹⁴For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
