People are hurting. They are out of work, can’t count on their jobs being permanent and are accepting work for less compensation yet income taxes have not receded proportionally to the state of misery in the private marketplace. In some sections of the country government, as on a national level, is growing larger and while income taxes have yet to increase the cost of doing business related to fines, penalties and regulations has risen in proportion to the shrinkage of government confiscation due to falling income, corporate and capital gains taxes. In fact local sales taxes have increased and cover additional products and services and school taxes are reluctant to recede despite a significant reduction in property values. Some taxes, such as the NYC Communter tax, have just been created. In Nassau County, NY, one of the highest taxed counties in America, people are beginning to take notice that their property taxes pay, not only for teachers that work and are receiving significant benefits but they also pay for three generations of teachers who don’t work and garner high retirement incomes and benefits that continue to not only grow but often ultimately accumulate far more than they acquired during all the years they worked.
Most people work till they are in their sixties and private business have to rely on what they have accumulated for themselves through their own ingenuity and savings. I recently had a discussion with a professor from the U of C at Davis who contended that her academic job provided a third of the compensation that people in the private community received. I quickly pointed out that, while that may have been true in the past, her current concepts were very naïve. Both she and her husband are professors that make about 60 to 75% of what the average income her profession garners in the private sector but her benefit’s package is monumental and her work hours are less than 50% of what most non-academic professionals expend while she is also not required to worry about employees, their benefit packages, conflict resolutions, scheduling, insurance policies, payroll, inventory, capitalization, government regulations, etc. The private world has none of the assurances that they will continue to survive and many do not. On the other hand government workers have the advantage of job assurances and permanence and retirements that are almost always related to their final two years of employment that includes overtime compensation and forsaken vacation and sick day pay.
The other day I took notice that in Florida that about 40% of mortgages represent more than the value of their property. This is 15% more than the national average. What is more troubling is the incredible amount of of boats and automobile repos in gated communities. People have illegally rigged up electrical lines to Florida Power and Light junction boxes and a successful small business man remarked that he and his fellow church goers were working very hard to delivery turkeys and other food stuffs to people in these same gated communities where, just last year, they had three or more cars in their driveways. Everywhere I go I see closed businesses and failed investments.
This recession is long and deep. Any recovery is likely to stumble because the one guaranteed cure is to remove taxes and the apprehension of additional government costs from the path of investors and risk takers. Without that people are frozen in a financial gridlock, afraid to take chances and would rather hold on to the little they have rather than borrow and risk against long odds that are sure to be further compromised by government confiscation.
What we need is a massive tax decrease and the trusted guarantee that government will not punish the risk takers and will leave them with much of what success may bring. This is a basic inspirational and motivational concept. The American people will do the rest. Unfortunately this Administration has no intention of proceeding in the right direction.
I’m so there on 4/15/10.

I’ll be in DC on the 15th! Look for me. I’ll be wearing a hat!
Looking to go with a group from NC. Bus perhaps? Anyone from Triad/Triangle area going?
Looks like some of us radical right-wingers, who wish to keep more of our earnings, will be in each others company this April 15th.
Hello fellow Americans and Patriots, This will be my first rally and from all the research I looked at from the last two gets me very excited to attend! I am bringing a couple friends with me in hopes to spread the word!
Joe. God help the USA.
Peace.
