Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012

Taxes are a plague on the American people! Taxes keep getting higher and higher while the average worker is making less. At this time when the working people need all the help they can get to support their family the government is taking more than they ever have before in history. Currently the government, the organization that American citizens depend on to take care of them, is taking almost 50% of the average person's pay and they are taking 30% of our paycheck before we receive it.

How is a single mother earning $30,000 supposed to live when the only brings home $19,000? If she pays $800 in rent, $350 for her car, and $100 per week for child care…she will have $50 left over to feed herself and her child, put gas in the car, buy diapers, pay car insurance and pay the power bill.
THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE!!! A mother cannot support herself or her child because the government is taking so much of her money.

The low income earners are being pushed into poverty by our government. This never should have happened and we need someone in Washington to do something about this government-inflicted poverty. The government is the enemy of the people…we must do something about this problem.
We can start by reducing the high percentage of our paycheck the government takes. Let us keep our money and spend it as we deem best.
