who is really the greedy one?

SO the way I See it the government needs to stop accusing everyone else of being greedy.
They have a kind of sickness! They are the ones who continuously want to raise taxes.

Now they ought to know that raising taxes causes people to reduce overall spending. After all they proudly declare this as one of their tools to redirect the behavior of Americans.
For example the tobacco industry is being phased out of existence by Government deliberately (or so I have heard them claim). The way the gov’t is doing this is through taxing the product so heavily that people are driven away from using it just by sheer cost.

And yet when you see them in action they don’t seem to get it all the rest of the time.

“Hey we need to make money, let’s add a new tax on cars! Increase the taxes!!!”

G.M. is too big to fail! but they are about to go bankrupt! We gotta bail them out. Why won’t people buy these cars? They’re too expensive. It must be because the car company is too greedy. Increase the taxes!

See the car company wasn’t necessarily the greedy one. It was the government that was to greedy.

The Government is the ones who keep raising prices. All they can say is “more taxes, more taxes”.
“Too many people are unemployed MORE TAXES“.
Why are they unemployed? Because the businesses which would hire them are paying so much in taxes they cannot hire new employees.

“More people want health care MORE TAXES” why can’t they buy the health care policies now? Because they cost to much due to the taxes.

“People want a better education for their kids, MORE TAXES”. why can’t they get a good education with what is spent on them now? I mean after all we spend more per student in this country then ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD. And we have the lowest educational quality. Why? Because the government has to interfere and create a bureaucracy that is unwieldy and expensive. The money isn’t spent on the students directly it is spent on the administrators and programs that gov’t has mandated the schools must do. And we have to have more money to administrate those. It doesn’t matter how much we pour in to the schools it will ALL get sucked up into some program that does little if anything to truly benefit the kids.

So who is the greedy one? Government. Not the manufacturers, not the teachers, not the doctors; the GOVERNMENT. And my fellow citizens I say “This needs to stop!” and it needs to stop NOW.

Smaller Government, Smaller taxes.
