Mahatma Gandhi

“All taxation to be healthy must return tenfold to the taxpayer in the form of necessary services.”

Since it is so close to the deadline for getting one’s taxes in is just around the corner, April 15th, it seems appropriate to say a wee bit about that. To some people it’s a good thing because they will get a refund and to others it’s a nightmare that one will be having to pay the government. To all it is probably the most boring hour or so they will spend this year. So I hope everybody reading this gets their’s in on time, hopefully without incident and with a large refund.
Though taxes are a necessary evil, unless people were to suddenly give up money and I say good luck with that one, I seen on the news today that there is a lot of unnecessary spending by government workers. They are using the taxpayers money not to benefit the people but to buy personal items like frilly underwear, Ipods, steak dinners and other objects that are just not necessary. I can see buying laptops, cellphones or things that can actually be used to get the job done but many of the charges made by government workers are unnecessary and take advantage of people who have worked very hard to pay for the government worker’s fun. They don’t need Ipods and fancy underwear to accomplish the tasks laid before them.
