Sad, Sad, Sad about the US
I was walking past the TV yesterday and I heard a report (ABC or NBC)that in most colleges across the country, a US history course isn't required and most students get through high school and college without a single class.
As far as taxes, I have heard so much in these years about it. I believe that if we as a country new more about the constitution, and out history, then our taxes, (as far as this string goes) would be much less. I believe in paying our share to help keep our great country up, but 45% on average is very high. This reminds me of a story.
Remember the story of Joseph (yes from the Bible) who was sold into slavery in Egypt by his brothers. After many years he interpreted a dream for Pharaoh and become "Vice Pharaoh". He asked for all the slaves to give 1/5 of their food to store for the drought. They were "taxed" 20% and look at us today. The slaves in Egypt were doing much better (at least in that department). Anyway, we all need to get more educated on taxes, and more "honest" people need to run for local, state, and federal government and just maybe one day, taxes won't bite so bad.
