Thank You Mr. Haley! Thank You Speaker Gingrich!

In the Kenrick Ward piece, Gingrich Protégé Taps Voter Unrest with Tax-Killer Strategy, Gingrich touches upon something near and dear to my heart: Eliminating taxes.

Vince Haley will indeed win over hundreds of voters like myself with a campaign that includes a proposal to eliminate Virginia’s State Income Tax.

There are three irrefutable truths with regard to our state and federal governments. We are spending too much, taxing too much, and regulating too much. While we may still have the freedom to vote and the freedom to bare arms and the freedom to attend the church of our choosing, we do not have real ownership over our lifes’ work nor over the treasures we’ve earned from the profits of that work.

We work hard to earn our salaries. Apparently we have no right to our salaries until the Federal and State governments have gotten “their share”. Then, when we go to spend whatever our governments allow us to keep, we’re taxed again. God forbid we purchase a home or a car, because in order to keep them, we are required to pay an annual tax, or else the government takes what is rightfully ours. If you invest your money, anything you make on those investments are taxed as well. If you sell something that you’ve purchased, you are taxed on that money too. How insane is it that every single economic act in America is taxed?

I want to see more politicians out there addressing our spending, our taxes, our regulations, and our debt! What could be more important?

Most of the federal departments have mirror departments within each of the State Governments. Why not just eliminate the federal duplicates? This country of ours cannot afford its’ government, plain and simple.

So, thank you Mr. Haley and thank you Speaker Gingrich! You are giving a voice to the millions of Americans who feel oppressed by this meddling governments’ role in our lives.
