For years we have been having this discussion about cutting government and spending less. Could not agree more, yet, I also read how much we from the US pay in Taxes, it is much smaller then most comparable industrial country's, per person.
The article below is about what the corporations do not pay. As a long time small business owner I always felt it was part of our duty as citizens to pay and contribute to the education that brought me trained employee's, the cost of building roads, having police and fire protection not to mention a military that protects our nation..
I realize as much as any that we could spend our tax dollars much better then we do but is it truley American to see just how much you can take out of this country without paying for it?
This article compares with several others I have seen latley and it seems that many don't want think they should pay anything..

You know what, I think many people have this thinking about our government doesn't do enough for them than those illegal immigrants. They, the illegal immigrants doesn't need to pay any taxes, and they got free of this and free of that. Think of those Mexican families, they have more than 3 to 4 babies, and they don't have to pay a single dime to the hospital, instead, they got aide from the government. We, as taxpayers, paying way too much taxes, what do we got in return, nothing! Is that a fair trade?
