Middle class paying price for bad gov’t

    What is the matter with government? All they do is tax and tax the middle class.
    Wake up, people. If you spend more than you have, you wind up losing everything. Giving all these tax breaks to big business for a few jobs, think about it: Who is really paying the wages? You are!
    Why are we going into a recession? The biggest culprit is high energy prices, which all boils down to high oil prices. What is Iraq doing with the money they’re getting from their oil? Every time we help out a country, they stick it to us. If it weren’t for us, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia wouldn’t have the oil they have to sell.
    Government has to rein in their pet projects until this country gets back on its feet. Lots of luck! It seems that the rich don’t care if the middle class enjoy life. Why should they worry about high gas prices?

Okay Mr. Maxfield, who is another one who thinks that penalizing the wealthy is the correct thing to do. Nonsense! So should I be penalized because I make more money for working hard everyday of my life than the guy down the road? Am I suppose to feel guilty because I worked hard to earn my money and sustain my lifestyle without government handouts and the guy down the street didn't. HARDLY!
However, I do pay my fair share of taxes, give to charities and donate to my church. And I am by far NOT wealthy. I am middle class.

I dont care what the 'rich' do.....they are nuts anyhow.....but get the DAMN government off my back along with the leeching monkeys that just siphon off our resources, stealing and bullying us,,,so that a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread cost more than a gallon of gas......DORKS......AND WE CRY FOR THEM TO FIX HEALTHCARE.......WHAT A FARCE........ >
