So Little Money, So Many Causes!

It appears taxpayers are bottomless pits. We should be supporting all sorts of programs, because we can afford to.

Socialists want us to fund:

Infrastructure
Health/Disease
Global Warming/Environment
Free drugs for all
Low cost housing for low income people
Universal daycare
Kyoto
Gun registry
CBC
Education
Seniors
Child Poverty
Aboriginals
SOW's

To name a few! Add your favorite to the list.

Where do they think this money comes from, government? Someone tell me, what does the government, on any level, produce? Nothing. What they do is take from productive members of society, and give it to unproductive members of society. How do they get those funds, again here's a list. (I'm sure I forgot something)

Federal taxes
Provincial taxes
Capital gains
EI
CPP
GST
PST (Thankfully I live in rat free, PST free Alberta)
Property taxes
User fees
Toll fees
Fuel taxes
Cigarette taxes
Liquor taxes
Bus fares
Death taxes (yes even when you die, you are taxed)

Is anyone else sick and tired of hearing socialists crying about their pet projects needing money? I can tell you every time I hear about another program the socialists want, I grab my wallet. Lately, that wallet is empty, but the shrieking for more is getting louder. Call me a selfish, cold hearted Conservative, only concerned with making money, at least I have a job. Problem is, I see 40% disappear off my cheque every payday, and then have to fork out more in other sundry taxes.

What started this rant? A neighbour has applied for a permit to run a concrete and landscaping business out of his home, in a family oriented single house area. It will cost me $37 to appeal it, just like it cost me money to have a garage sale. More taxes, disguised as fees.

Can a socialist EVER say, enough is enough?
