"BegPolites" - (Beggar Polite Politician's)

Democrats want me to sign a petition to remove tax loopholes away from millionaires who have corporate jets and take expensive trips and give themselves huge bonuses. They want me to support them in raising the tax rates for the wealthy, especially the top 5% income earners.

So it begs the question, what are they going to do with the increased money (tax revenue)? Are they proposing to reduce the $14 trillion dollar debt? Or maybe put some solid money behind social security and Medicare? Shore up the value of our currency?

Or do we feel their intention is to create more government programs, hire more government employees to create more government rules and regulations that, in the end, take away more of our freedoms?

Fed-ex and UPS work far-better than the postal system. Charter schools outperform public schools by far. VA Hospitals are a far cry from the quality and service received at private health care facilities. The list is endless. Government should protect and defend us, and then get out of the way. Current tax revenue they receive now is more than sufficient for that purpose. Government needs to stop trying to provide a total social system for America.

We don’t want communism, socialism or even progressive social justice. We want to be rewarded for our efforts and not be tax and regulated into servitude. Maybe more people would choose a church or fraternal organization to participate with as a backup in case something tragic happened. Then the givers could also become the takers, if necessary, in a far more equitable balanced equation, as has been successfully done throughout our history.

The question that bothers me the most is why a “Politician” feels he can better spend someone else’s hard earned money then the guy that worked and earned it? I just finished cancer treatment and gratefully it was the Huntsman Institute’s charitable care that saved my life. That was made possible by the enormous donations of a private family, the Huntsman’s, giving back to society. I know for sure that a government agency could not have done it better.

So on Face Book you post petitions you want me to sign to take money away from others and give it to you, but you never say why. The only reason you give is that “some people” and “corporations” are making too much and that’s not fair.

How I see it, we have created a whole new breed of “Beggars” wanting something for nothing that they didn’t earn. We need a new term for these individuals, maybe something like “BegPolites”, since these politicians always seem soooo nice as they beg for our money to help themselves escalate in the ranks of the down-trodden.
