Lesson learned in a Lowe's parking lot, or, how our tax code works...or should I say doesn't

It's funny where you find proof of conservative concepts. My wife and I went out tonight to look at spending some of our money on home improvements at our area Lowe's. I am sure, some liberal, some where could find something wrong with that. I am sure that I probably am being too materialistic or they probably think I could better spend that money on some hard working ACORN representative. After all some person without insurance who could not tell you the difference between capitalism and communism needs to register to vote for some socialist leaning idiot in 2010.

As we were leaving we ran into some old friends who I used to work with at Target. You see they worked there as a part time job for extra money. The usual small talk ensued and after a couple of minutes I found out that one of them, the husband, no longer worked at Target. The reason you ask, the US tax code. Yes, that's why! You see he made too much money last year and jumped into a different tax bracket. It was no longer reasonable for him to work his regular job and then put in another 20 hours somewhere else. Why? Because too much of his money is being stolen by the federal government. Instead of wasting 20 hours of his life a week furthering your altruistic methods, he decided to actually make less, and pay less taxes.

Hey Mr./Mrs. liberal (moderate Republican, too)! Do you get this yet? You are killing this country with your spending and your taxes. The spending you are authorizing right now will translate into taxes for me, my kids, and every other hard working American in this country. You claim to care about people but you don't realize just how little respect you actually have for others.
