A friend emailed this morning that the farmers are probably happy today but not the people who planned to attend the Tax Day rally in Harrisonburg. Sage observation. Unfortunately weather conditions today caused the cancellation of Tax Day events in the Shenandoah Valley. But Tax Day should serve as a stark reminder to Washington that the American taxpayers are the people who own and pay for our country. Rather than listen to “We the People” Washington continues to try to solve our deficit problems with tax hikes that will hurt our struggling economy.
To paraphrase President Reagan, we don’t have trillion-dollar deficits because we haven’t taxed enough; we have trillion dollar deficits because we spend too much. Washington is in desperate need of checks and balances to ensure we can stop Senator Harry Reid’s obstructionism in the U.S. Senate and finally stop the increasing deficit spending and debt caused by, for examples, jobless stimulus bills and the government takeover of our health care system.
