Damn taxes, stupid governement

I know all of us who actually pay taxes, hate it with a passion. For the second year in a row of the five years we have been married, my husband and I had to PAY taxes. No rebate for us. So on top of the taxes that are removed from our paychecks we had to pay more. For what? Nothing. Just so the government can steal more money from us and give to others. So why all these "advocates" are fighting about what the first admendment should cover, they are completely skipping over the double, triple and quadrupale taxation that is taking place in this country. Oh, it's probably because they are one of the special interest groups that receive money. Our money.

My husband and I are not rich, but we are well off. My husband has an excellent sense of finance.(If it can be called a sense) He knows that saving money is important and is making sure we have money to retire off of. And we are punished for that. If I calm that as a form of toture will President B.O. put a stop to it? Because we all know that his buddies aren't paying into that one trillion dollar "stimilus" package with their tax money. (Psst, remember they "forget" to pay taxes.)

We also have no kids, so that means we are not getting paid to breed. Don't give me a lecture on how much kids cost because all of you who have a herd of children don't really pay for them anyway. All these large families get to put in for all sorts of free (or reduced) stuff. You get more money back then you pay in taxes. I don't get that money that goes to the schools back. Maybe it's time people actually start paying for their kids. I should be rewarded for not added to the population.

But back to the point that really pissed me off today. My husband loses about half of his salary to taxes and then we have to pay more?! What the hell! The U.S. Government is nothing but a bunch of thieves! And living in Utah, a "Republican" state doesn't help at help. They tax the shit out of us. Republicans or Democrats, it doesn't matter anymore. All of them want to rip us off to pay for their lobbyists (or bribers if you will), illegals and other special interest groups who feign like they are looking out for us.

Maybe one year all of us in middle American (you know the ones that the east and west coasters pretend don't exist) should "forget" to pay our taxes. I demand an itemized list of every single thing that the government sends of money on and that includes this "stimulus" package. Oh, and those of you who received $600 or $1200 from the government last year be aware that you need to pay taxes on that money as it is considered income. Yeah, getting the money that was stolen by the government back is income.

We are nothing but cowards anymore. More concerned with the race of a president than what these politicians are doing to this country. Hey let's sue the American government. Especially for this "stimulus" package. If the illegals can do it, why can't we? (Cause we are not illegal, right?)

Ban lobbyists, set term limits and if any politicians wants a raise, we the people should vote on it. I know it will never be perfect, but it may be time to flush the system.

Hey, I'm surprised I didn't swear more.

Rip-off Virgin

The whole reason I am with Virgin is because I don't use the cell phone that often. Every other service provider likes to charge a daily use fee. Usually starting about a dollar. Which is stupid because you are already paying by minute (or text). Now Virgin wants to start charging .15 istead of .10. I'm pretty sure they are doing this just to try to force us to buy their monthly plans. But that's not why I bought Virgin. I don't talk alot and I don't what a monthly fee. I mostly texted and the year fee of $90 usually lasts for the whole year. They also offer things like unlimited text so I looked into it.




The top picture shows that you can get unlimited text for $10 a month. Not too bad of a price, but not nesaccarily a great deal if you don't send many texts. Isn't that the reason why most people get pay as you go? The bottom picture shows, after clicking on the $10 a month unlimited in red link in the bottom picture, that you only get that price if you already pay for one of their monthly plans. What a rip-off. I'm so tired of this. No one can just let you pay. Always ripping you off with their "monthly plans."

Not to mention they are charging $79.99 for unlimited calls (I don't think text is included). How stupid is this? Well, for us anyways. Virgin has suck ass coverage. Anyone could get Verizon for $99 and they do have great coverage.

I guess I'm stuck paying it, but depending on how fast I go through it, I may have to drop it. Thank, Virgin Wireless.

I can live without it, but because everyone else walks around saying they can't live without their cell, the cellphone companies know the can charge whatever they want.
