Did you not see the part where she wants to tax retirement and 401's?

Anyone who just keeps a large amount of money in the bank to collect the

meager interest is a fool, if there is a better way - It has been

standard practice to invest some of it in something that will, hopefully,

bring a return. While we are neither fortunate enough to have either a

retirement fund or a 401K, why should people be penalized if they are

able to do that? In some bogus attempt to make everyone " equal "

financially? It'll never happen. While perhaps not wise, if I had the

money, I'd sooner stick it in my mattress than pay some exorbitant tax on

it, with no say as to where it goes. If people like Nancy Pelosi are so

concerned about financial shortfalls, why don't they take a pay cut and

stop using so much of our tax money on cars, drivers, entertaining and so

on.

If Nancy wants a tax on Windfall

Profits from playing the stock

market, I am all for it. Most of us aren't that lucky to realize

windfall profits anyway. Josephine

The details hardly matter: it's theft, period, all taxes, everywhere. Armed robbery, actually -- try not paying it and persist, see what happens.

This is why charity is dead. Taxes train us to desperately hold on to what 'they' have left us of the fruits of our own labor. They also train us to resent the richer, and to mob-cheer the taxers when the richer get hit harder.

Impoverish, divide, conquer.

Well, if they can find you, you'll wind up getting arrested. Take your

house if you have one, garnish your wages....Some people go totally off

the grid to avoid them - get paid in cash when they work, don't own

anything. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an advocate of taxes, but see the

necessity of them. How would you propose people in need would be helped?

Schools be paid for? The myriad of services that so many seem to want? I

don't suppose everyone is going to voluntarily take money out of their

pockets to help pay for all the things people want the government to do

and pay for. I do think, however, that people's expectations have to be

reasonable - which is one of the reasons the upcoming tax hike is going

to be the largest ever in the history of the U.S. People want an

unreasonable amount of things to be done or paid by the Governemnt.

People want too much, want too many services, too many programs, too many

benefits, too much help - and when they are successful in getting the

Gov't to do them, are going to scream bloody murder because they're being

taxed too much. You can't have it both ways - either you pay into the

fund (called taxes) to get all this stuff which people seem to think is

their due, or, less money is paid into the " fund " and people

start doing things themselves, not expecting the government to do all

kinds of things for them.

People work all their lives sometimes, paying into a retirement fund, as

well as taxes on what they've earned. Why is it so wrong for them to

expect to see a return?

And, btw, charity is not dead........perhaps in your neck of the woods,

but not mine. I know people who not only give a large percentage of their

salary, but also give of their time and whatever they happen to have. I'm

sorry that you feel you have been " trained " to resent the

richer - I don't. I wish we had more, but don't resent those that do. I

wish some people would be more judicious with their use of money - but

it's their money.
