No offense panhead, but you don't know me. You don't know what I've been through, or what I've lost thanks to our government. My whole LIFE was turned upside down thanks to bullshit with the government. So please don't act like the only reason I'm disagreeing here is cuz I don't know what it's like to "fall victim to" the government.
Stealing is wrong. Stealing from PEOPLE is just LOW. Just because some people are thieves doesn't mean I want to be a scumbag too
Howdy wikid,i forgot about this thread for a few days but im back now.
I wasnt meaning to imply that you've never been fuked over by uncle sam ,more like explaining why i feel the way i do about our government,my list is long as ive been gang raped by uncle sam,the older i get & the more income i generate the more i feel like the governments sugar daddy who pays for everything,yet gets nothing in return.
Where i live in the economy is devastated,every branch of government is struggeling to fund its employee base,they have found ways to fund their budget by cutting services like plowing/salting roads,road repair,street cleaning ect yet they raise my taxes constantly & never cut the employee base to match the services being provided.
I pay a ridiculous amount in tax'es,allmost $1,000 dollars each week to pay for city services & this is not even counting my property tax'es,we have a garbage dept that gets paid for an entire 8 hour work day as soon as they finish their route,if they finish the route in 2 hours they are free to leave with 8 hours pay,or they can stay working & move on to another route,at that time they go into overtime,if the 2nd garbage route takes them 3 hours to complete they are again free to leave, only this time around they recieve another 8 hours pay at time & a half,they can even stay & do a 3rd route should they choose all at time & a half pay,a gargabe collector in my town can & often does recieve 32 hours pay for working a single 8 hour shift
,i never agreed to have my tax dollars spent in such a foolish manner
The town i live in has its own water treatment operation where they take water from the river & turn it into drinking water,this operation & its employees cost multi millions of tax dollars each year to operate,normally the burden of tax payer cost would be offset by the income generated by the monthly water bills of its customers,not in my town,all the millions of gallons of water treated each day are dumped directly back into the river,we have a contract to buy our drinking water from another town so they cant use the water they treat but we still have to fund the operation.
The entire state employee base recieves more paid sick days than any normally healthy person could ever use & they have a built in scam there as well,each time an employee calls in sick they recieve 8 hours pay but are only deducted one half day against their sick days
,they call sick days a "sick occasion"
& a sick occasion is 16 hours pay.
My state is rife with this type pork barrel spending,entire buildings full of employees who were the mayors appointee's who he created jobs for because they were his friends,or to repay a favor,entire floors filled with employees who are in charge of paper clip counting,entire staffs that are supplied state owned cars to drive to & from work,ect ect ect.
This type spending cannot be stopped,its institutionalized nation wide,this is exactly why i feel im free to take what i please from a government that offers my family substandard services at premium cost, with no fear of retribution, & from a government that has taken 6 years of my freedom,then made me pay for the years they had me locked away after they took all i had,took everything my wife owned,then released me with $250 to my name,homeless,over $30,00 in debt with fines i still owed them & divorced because they legal system destroyed my marrige.
If i can get it im taking it,if there is a shortcut that saves me tax dollars im taking it,if there's a way i can get out of paying a fee im taking it,if theres a way i can play the government to my own benifit im exploiting the loophole to its maximum potential.
I could go on for days but mostly what im trying to convey is this,we as a community of tax payers have no obligation to hold any form of the value system afforded twords decent people & apply its concept twords our government,a government that is not answerable to its constituents nor carring of its constituents needs,a government who holds no value or respect as to how they spend the hard earnd tax dollars being spoon fed to them daily .
I never meant to imply that you have not took your share of ass reamings from uncle sam only that ive taken too many & cant stand any more,my ass hurts as it is
