Paying taxes equals patriotism?

Actually, if we look at history, and in particular the “Boston Tea Party”, the founding of this country is based on our desire to be free FROM burdensome taxation. We are a nation that believes in entrepreneurship and individual property rights, limited government, and local control. It is a miracle that we ever reached agreement on a Republic. The reason we did was partly because of the Bill of Rights, and the Tenth Amendment.

We have always preferred to keep our own money to do with what we believed important. Taxation has been the source of many a conflict but I have never heard anyone until now say that paying taxes equals patriotism. Joe Biden and Barrack Obama are saying that if you make $250,000 or more you need to suck it up and give others your hard earned money, otherwise you are not patriotic. This group is already paying 95% of the federal tax burden.

You know what isn’t patriotic; asking others to pay for the mess you have made. To subsidize mediocrity, bureaucracy, waste, and fraud! What has Biden, and Obama done for their paycheck lately? They are out on the campaign trail, getting paid, and who is doing the work of the senate while illegals cross our borders, oil resources dry up, and politicians give away the keys to the treasury?

Patriotism is a love for our country that has NOTHING to do with taxes. It is about being proud of what has made us great; the hard work of the American people. We are happy to pay our share for the things the government should provide. What we will not do is gladly pay the bill for the waste, corruption, and socialism being promoted by these two candidates…
