Another Tax is this NEW

Got home from work last night just in time
to catch the last half of Lou Dobbs. The
first thing I saw was a headline about a
proposed 10% Federal sales TAX on everything we buy.

Is this amazing or what, politicians wanting more
of our hard earned dollars, and the dollar has been
down in the dumps now according to the currency converter.

This is not new politics,and if this is change,it's not.


Now how about some of the taxes we pay
on just some of the things I can think of.

We have property tax, tax on utilities,tax on
phone and tv,car tags,and lots of tax on gasoline, which
by the way is jumping up again.

In my state we have a income tax plus a sales tax,
and that adds up to 15% just for the state,now lets add
a federal 10% sales tax.

How is this going to effect the working stiff, or the unemployed?

As of April 09 the unemployment rate was 8.9%. Unemployment
benefits are to help you get by while you are looking for
another job and the monies will feed you,maybe pay the rent,
and buy gas for your car to look for work, and then, depending
on how much you made before being laid off, you have to pay state
and federal income taxes on your benefits. Now 10% more of that small
amount of income will be used for TAX.

This is ging to HURT a lot of people.

More to come.
