An open call to the new congress; Please raise my taxes.

I have much more money than I need and there are others less fortunate than myself who could use a handout. My employer is also earning much more than is needed to sustain operations as evidenced by the stock dividend they pay every quarter, raise their taxes too.

We should all be praising the new plan to pay Social Security benefits to the millions of Mexicans who are here working illegally. We should reward people for committing crimes and breaking our laws. I also think it is a great idea that they only need to have worked for 18 months while a citizen has to work for ten years to recieve benefits.

We should all be really thankful that the government wants to take over our healthcare for us. I just do not understand how our parents and grandparents took care of themselves without help from the government. We all know how much better things are when the government gets involved.

We should also be determined to increase our dependence on forgein oil. We need to ban drilling in ANWAR and offshore as well. This is only fair to other countries that we should have to depend on them and buy their oil.
An added benefit for the U.S. is our environment will remain much more pristine, no oil spills in the Artic or along our coasts.

I guess what i am saying is we need a larger more caring government. Let's say something along the lines of a communist state. I know the Soviets tried it, the Chinese tried it, and the North Koreans tried it, they just did not
do it the right way. Surely the Government of the United States could do it all better.

The United States is on this path now. When citizens refuse to be informed and then to get involved and take action this is what happens. Growth of government is out of control. The reach of government into our  daily lives is ever increasing. Most of the politicians of our country are drunk with the elixer of power and they are intent on keeping it at all costs, regardless of wether or not it is in the best interest of our country.

What are you trying to do about it? Do you care what becomes of the United States or are you willing to sit back and do nothing and slowly but surely loose your freedoms?
