High taxes on cigarettes and liquor are supposed to discourage people from cigarettes and liquor. Just as high taxes on income discourage people from making an income.
Tax a thing and you get less of it.
We must fight for low taxes by fighting for low government spending – so that we may be free, and not have a high percentage of our income confiscated from us.
What do you think?
Larry Happy Friday…
The fact well stated…. Our government don’t get it, or do they??
They don’t get it and never will! Those of us who do need to stand up and be heard.
Larry-
This is my first comment on your blog. As I think you know, my wife works in state politics for a state delegate who we like to think is working for the people and is on our side of the fight. It is absolutely mind boggling how much waste and fraud is inherently built into the system…not Jefferson’s idea of government in any way shape or form (and this is Virginia which has been named the best run state in the country for several years running).
Federal government and politicians have lost complete and total control of their own system (ours?) and it has become a self serving entity who’s only purpose is to protect and bolster revenues for itself and the big industries which run the county behind the scenes. ROME???
