This year's Tax Freedom Day arrived on April 12. Tax Freedom Day was the first day this year which I no longer worked for the Government, but myself. All my tax obligations are satisfied. This is in theory, naturally. Supposedly, my taxes to all levels of government—local, state and federal—have been paid. This does not account for sales tax, and hidden fees, of course.
Some of you may be asking; "Where are you going with this?" Well, since Barack Obama and Jerry Brown tax me, without representation, and since my Congressman and Senator are both Progressive Democrats who do not represent my interests, I have worked a total of 102 service days this year.
Now Barack Obama and Mr. Bush before him, have the balls to ask me to give more in service to my nation?
My time volunteering at my kid's school is not enough? My time volunteered to my church is not enough? My donations to charity are not enough?
I'm sorry, but I have no more time or money to give. I resent any American leader, Liberal, Progressive, or Conservative asking me to give more in the service of my country. I have already done my fair share. I always do my fair share.
But, thanks for asking me Mr. Obama. However, I must decline your generous request.
