So, is this new tax intended to close a consumer loophole, stop what some see as an evil addiction, punish those who try to save money, or is it an an attempt to fleece the American people once againWell, Congress is remiss to close loopholes on themselves, so that can’t be the reason. Online shopping… well, I don’t think that qualifies as an addiction. The idea of punishing cost conscious consumers is contrary to the Obama plan…you know, spending money to help the economy, so that can’t be it. That leaves just one thing… government hands in our pockets once again.

When will enough, be enough? With the current crop of thieves in office, it will never be enough. Their time seems to spent trying to find innovative ways to tax us, or in finding ways for themselves to avoid paying taxes, while at the same time ensuring they stay in power. How difficult would it be to throw a monkey wrench in to their plans? If this bill is passed, and signed by Obama, we’ll need to stop buying online. My appologies to the online merchants, but you better make plans to find another source of income. Perhaps, a barter system? Some tell me the left has used this system for quite some time, and is regarded as “the underground economy.”

When will America wake up, and take this country back from the power brokers who want to control everything we do, think, make, and earn?

Just look at how much they jack up prices here:

Power corrupts. When congress has the power to legislate more and more taxes from us, when congress can form the IRS into an entity powerful enough to control us, we, as a nation, are in trouble. When congress can pass laws to take over private business and industry, our free enterprise is seriously threatened.

How can We The People ensure that the representatives we send to DC don’t get corrupted. Term Limits! When people stay in the Washington DC environment for too long they will eventually succumb to the temptations of money that’s offered to buy their vote and/or influence. Think about lobbyists, special interest groups, campaign contributors. They all throw money at members of congress. Yet we keep sending the same people back there. Washington DC has become a vast cesspool of corruption. Power and money are addictive and insidious.

But every two years we return 90% of the congressmen back there. It doesn’t matter anymore if they have a \D\ or \R\ after their names. Pork barrel spending and earmarks are rampant in both parties. If we want to clean up The People’s House we need to have the courage to throw out ALL the incumbents. Problem is, many people will say, \Maybe your congressman, but not mine. He’s a good guy. I like him.\ Likeability has nothing to do with it. Length of time in DC does. Take some time & look up how long your guy or gal has been in Washington. Than pray for the courage to vote out the professional politician in favor of a new person. If we all did that and charged all the new people with the responsibility to clean up The People’s House, maybe we could finally make some headway in getting the corruption out of DC.
