which brings me to my question; what would be your definition of excess profits?
be carefull!!!!
Last year 68.4% of my gross income ended up being taxes. Next year it will go up. That is excessive profits in my book. Federal taxes, Social Security, Medical care, State taxes, City taxes, property taxes, vehicle taxes, personal taxes, sales taxes, you name it taxes. 68.4% of my gross taxes went back to the government.
It is obscene and about to get worse. My father's farm has been in the family for four generations and unless I come up with a pot full of money, for inheritance taxes, it will be sold at his passing in the next year of two. I am tired of "near do wells" telling me that I owe, anyone else, anything. Let the bastards get a job and work 60 hours a week to get what I have. Let them spend eight extra years in school, borrow tens of thousands of dollars to live on and pay for school. Let them go deeply in debt, never miss a payment and then be told that their money needs to be spread to others to help them achieve the American dream. This is crap of the worst type. We are being made into mushrooms. Kept in the dark, fed horse shit and told that not only is life good but that we should grow and be happy. Bull shit.
I have a solution for this mess. I intend to decrease my gross income by 50% next year. Screw-em. Next year the farm will not sell a grain of corn or a bean. I will store them. I can do that for a year, or two need be. Hell I can just not plant the farm. Being paid off, (the farm), makes it much easier. I will work two days less a week in the practice. Let my income drop 50% and the taxes will drop by two thirds. They can not tax, what I do not make. I use to live on far less than I make now and can go back to those days again. Can government get buy on what they collected 20 years ago? I think not.
Like many others, I am getting tired of the elite telling me what to do and how to live.
