47% Of Nuthin Equals 100% Of Everything

This will be a fairly silly post, I think. I'm sure all of you read last week that 47% of eligible taxpayers dont' pay a dime. Somewhere on the news I was informed that a family of four making $50,000 and less are in this category. Wowie! That's pretty neat---for them. This got me to thinking about benefits received by those who aren't required to do anything to support this great land. It's the same as a welfare check; get money but don't have any responsibilities. I was on the phone with my good buddy, Craig, this morning. There's going to be a Tea Party in Columbus, O. this week and he wanted a slogan from me for a sign he wants to hold up. I suggested he break down down benefits for those who are on the country dole and see if he could come up with something good. Okay, let's say we come under a nuclear bombardment. The primary purpose of our federal government should be to protect us from foreign attack. My idea is to give the taxpayer and his family some type of badge. Assuming we have time to get a shelter I only think it's appropriate the people who pony up the cash get the opportunity of being saved. Those who are forced to pay the most gete the deeper hole. In light of the fact that, assuming we are victorious in this conflagration and the providers survive, their ingenuity will be needed to re-build. For the non-taxpayer my idea would be to give them all rosaries and they can hope for the best. Federal tax dollars are used to build and keep proper maintanence on our interstate highways. Have you ever noticed, running parallel to interstates, the pre-interstate highways? Some are made of concrete and some of gravel. Do you get my drift? Don't pay taxes and you have to fight gravel. stone and humongous potholes. This would be a wonderful incentive to start adding to the coffers. Pay some cash and ride where the big boys do.
Education is a big part of taxation on the federal level. Actually, in a lot of cases the government has taken over the financials of it. How would it be if taxpayers got to take a number based on the amount of money given to DC; the more you give the better the school. This would help integration immensely. There's a lot of white folk who pay nothing at all and they would be subjected to forced busing--sort of reverse discrimination; just like in the 60's. If some people didn't want integration then start working harder to give the kids what you want.
Of course, I haven't touched on the real factor involved. How about getting rid of the clowns in Washington who have burdened our system with this outrageous entitlement. Those the giveaway programs are aimed at aren't going to do it and that's a certainty.
