Taxation and Spending
I feel like this election was more about a referendum on the rich than anything else. I feel like there are millions of people out there that somehow feel entitled to my success. This is exactly the type of mentality that is destroying this country. What ever happened to hard work will pay off? What ever happened to the American dream? I guess the liberals in this country are just changing what that dream is. Come to America and we will take care of you.
Taxation is becoming oppressive. 10.25% sales tax. 8.25% local tax. 39.5% Federal tax. Toll roads. Ridiculous property taxes. Use taxes on vehicles. etc, etc, etc. The list goes on and on. I am sick to my stomach. I have never felt more un-American in my life as I do now.
So I am doing something about it. My family is preparing. We are cutting all our spending. I just cut my cable last weekend. I lease my cars because I drive so much. I have leased 4 BMWs since 2001. I am up for a new car in January but I won’t be getting another BMW. I will either rent a car or buy a cheap used car. My family usually vacations twice a year. Not anymore. I love gadgets. Always have the latest phones. Latest computers. Latest tech. No more. I’m done buying it. I got rid of my phone and now use Skype. I’ve never clipped coupons but I do now. If there isn’t a coupon, I don’t buy it. Basically, I am cutting back everything. My suggestion is that you do this as well.
