How Stupid Do they Think I Am And Do I Really Want To Know?

One of my pet peeves is being treated like I am stupid.  I once worked for a company that kept cutting costs by reducing employee benefits.  These decisions were presented to us as “enhancements”.  It got to the point that if I heard the word “enhancement” I would automatically reach to protect my wallet.

Our government does the same thing.  They talk about not raising taxes on most of us while they continue to spend more and more money they do not have.  To cover this increased spending they “borrow” money from our  (grand)children and raise non-income taxes and “fees”.  Fees are just taxes with an identity crises.

Now they are considering implementing something called a Cap and Trade Policy which involves charging us fees for the creation of a “Greenhouse Gas” called carbon dioxide and leaving a “Carbon Footprint” on the planet.  I don’t want to worry you but when you breath you exhale carbon dioxide.

They have finally figured out a way to tax me for breathing!

I know where I would like to leave my carbon footprint!

The Economy….

Bernie Madoff “Investments” or the Social Security “Trust Fund” – Which is the bigger Ponzi scheme?

The above is one of those questions you think has to be a “trick question”.  The answer is seemingly too obvious.

Here is another one:  Congress (which I often refer to as Dis-organized Crime) or the “Mafia” (sometimes called Organized Crime):  Who “taxes” its constituents less and runs the most efficient organization?  Again,  too obvious?

One more.  What is the difference between a government tax and a government fee?  This one is really a bit of a trick question.  The answer is the difference in spelling.  Not like asking what is the difference between a pile of manure and a bag of manure where there is a real difference.  The bag.

A final one.  What is the difference between what we are told by congress and a bag of manure?  You got it!
