Long Time no Blog

How's it going folks? Been a long time since I have posted anything. Been going through some personal adversity in my life.

There is so much to write about since I have last wrote anything. Healthcare, Supreme court nominees, the election coming up in november (can't wait), and all of the other things going on nationally and internationally, but today I want to write about whats going on here in Kansas.

Once again the soft spined republicans have agreed to raise taxes here in the state of Kansas. Why do we vote for these closet liberals? Every time someone says they are a conservative, we fall for it hook line and sinker. Why is it that our elected officials don't understand that when there is a budget crisis, you must cut spending, not raise taxes. I don't mean little bit of spending here and there, I mean axing something that is just not worth having on the books. Yeah Yeah I know what alot of people are going to say; "but you can't just cut entire programs out of the government." Why not? Why can't the people look at what is on the books and decide what is worth spending their tax dollars on. I can damn near gaurantee that there are millions waisted on funding rediculous research and other frivilous projects. It's funny how the government likes to grow and spend when times are good, and when times are bad, they like to raise taxes. Makes no sense to me. The funny thing about this whole sales tax hike is if we ever get to a balanced budget again, they won't lower the taxes. We'll be stuck paying a higher tax from here on out. Thats why its so dangerous to raise taxes. It takes a little more of our liberty and freedom away bit by bit.
