Taxes & Big Government

Many of us have gotten our property tax bills and they are higher then last year.

Governor Quinn wants to increase the State income tax this year. The Governor has also announced that he wants taxpayers to pay the campaign bills of candidates for statewide offices.

None of these come even close to the tax burden that President Obama wants to put on us and our grandchildren.

Big government needs large amounts of tax dollars to take care of the citizens in the way big government thinks is best for the public. The Federal Government does not know what is best for my child, it should not tell me what my life style should be, government should not favor one group of citizens over others, why should the government decide what companies will survive and which will fail. The Founding Fathers left governing society to the state governments and the people themselves. We need and should have a Federal Government that is ruled by the Constitution and the American People.

President Ronald Reagan once said "I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves." This is something to remember when another new government program or bail out is announced. This is something to remember in November of next year.
