Sticking it to the Middle Class

In a little over a month the year will be over and with it increased taxes for the middle class. Those making between $50,000 - $125,000 will see their taxes increase for $2000 - $3000. The ATM is set to revert to kick in at a lower level, the child tax credit will be cut in half, the Social Security tax break has not been renewed at this time and the marriage tax will be back in force. With the recent report of the disappearing middle class, just sock it to them some more. The Rich keep getting richer and everyone else is getting poorer. The middle class neighborhoods are vanishing and many are being taken over by the upper class. Pay raises are stagnant, unemployment remains high for the middle class and the government wants to push the class of people even lower. Cain is the only candidate who will even talk taxes and a fix for them. His plan using a form of flat tax is the most fair to all classes of people. The government does not want to talk about it because it would shrink the Government/IRS by a few thousand and save taxpayers over a billion dollars a year. Just think the Government not wanting to save money and create a fair tax system. We as Americans have a say in how or Government runs, because we are afforded that right by the Constitution - "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." The best way to take back control is vote in competent people and vote out the old school. They need to tear up the old documents and start anew. They way things are being done now does not work and has not worked. We are not getting any solutions to our Countries issues, just creating new ones. Voting along party lines for years has contributed to the decay of our Government. Elections are coming up, it is time for each of us to think hard, study all the candidates and vote for the person/persons that will do the best job - NOT for a political party. It is time for Americans to take back our Government, end the corruption on the local, state and National levels. speak out and make your self known. This is the only way to preserve and improve our way of life. The Government was not established to dictate to us, it was established for us to dictate to it.
