These days its the usual "Taste great, Less filling" when it comes to politics. The Government has us on one side of the bench or the other. This keeps us pointing the finger at each other and away from the real source of the problem. The government as a whole is the real issue here. No matter who is elected as the official puppet, our Taxes will increase.
One of the biggest things to think about is how the younger generation is influenced. They look at their first pay check and see 33% goes to taxes not realizing that less than 100 years ago there was no tax and before their own children begin to work they will be paying much, much more in one way or another. If you take all the taxes on everything you do, you are already paying out more than 50% in taxes. Until these new workers have paid taxes for about 10 years, they tend to not realize just how much they are giving to the government to decide what to do with there own money.
