And these taxes go to the scumbag dumbocrats so they can ride free.
It is funny how you people think you are free, and yet you are a slave via taxes, yet still cheer and clap when you get more taxes and fees raised on you... Then you run your mouth and complain when you let it happen in the first place...
And our Health Insurance premium is more than our mortgage payment.
OF course we do - HELLO????
We are slaves via taxes, especially in light of the monumental expenses for things that taxes shouldn't be paying for at all. Insurance required and nearly twice my mortgage payment...and then there's all I've paid in SS that has been borrowed and misused by the government and now I'm told my SS forced "investment" is an entitlement when I'm ready to collect.
Proves YOU are NOT FREE !!! Taxed to Death and beyond !!
