Americans Taxes Are For Americans Not Anyone Else

If taxation without representation was not fair then why is representation without taxation not equally as illegal and wrong? Why are my tax dollars going to Iraq and for reconstruction efforts in Iraq all the while my roads are in disrepair, my cost of living is skyrocketing, and the price of a gallon of gas is going through my vehicles roof? Iraq pays no taxes for our services but yet they have all of our congress, senate, and presidential cabinet working for them. They also have a large majority of our armed forces in their country along with a lot of our expensive weaponry all the while they are taking my money in jacked up oil prices, this just isn’t right and is definitely not fair. And speaking of high gas prices, a very strange occurrence is happing in regards to the price of high gas this year; there are no solutions or answers being provided by our local politicians in response to the high cost of gas issue.

Normally when the price of gas goes up to a point where it starts to become a water cooler topic of discussion a politician swoops in with some relax the gas tax answer or some barnstorming state wide plan to make vehicles more efficient, or some way to ramp up ethanol. However, in the annual run-up to the usual gas gouging holiday travel time of memorial weekend there is a strange occurrence, no politicians shouting from the top of a soap box telling us how we will be saved by this politicians plan and party affiliation. Where are the usual suspects? Have our politicians failed us or has the grim reality of our elected politician’s failures come home to roost and they know there is nowhere to escape? Can anyone tell me why we ranted and raved last year when gas went up to almost $3 a gallon but this year there is nary a peep and gas is about to hit $4 a gallon? I pay my taxes and hopefully you do as well, so where is our representation based on our taxation? We should have much more than we do right now and you need to be much more politically active to make sure America gets more for its tax dollars than a failed Iraqi policy and an everincreasing cost of living.

Our founding fathers enacted taxes to take care of America, it was never meant to be foreign aid.
