Why Don't I Start Telling You How To Live Your Life?

The government has no business telling anyone how to live, what to say, believe, or think. The government is supposed to work for us... they are the hired help... not the other way around.

The government doesn't really tell me what I can or cannot have in my house, but what really pisses me off is that they tell me how much of MY money they are going to take from me each payday (in the form of income taxes), and how much of MY money they are going to take from me in the form of other taxes when I pull up to the gas pump or go to the store. It also pisses me off that MOST of it goes to line the pockets of the politicians who take it. I want someone to SHOW me the law stating that we have to pay income taxes. I truly do not believe it is there. I don't mind paying sales tax, or even a tax when I buy gas, but the money I work to earn should go to me and NO ONE else...

That is about the truth of the matter these days. The goverment rules all of us daily and they tell us what we can and cannot do even though they do not abide by it.

How do they have any say over what I have in my house? As far as im aware everything I have here in my home is mine and because I want it here! As for telling us how to live our lives well in what way exactly? generally im having the life I want!

That would be fine if I did not expect anything in return. But I happen to like my roads maintained, excellent schools, garbage pick up, lights on my street, my mail etc. so in turn they have expectations of me.

I think if you live there (wherever you live), you have to understand that you must live by your government's rules. If you don't like their rules, you should find a country whose rules you do like and live there.

I do not need anyone to tell me how to live. I have a husband. We do have to have a rule of law, because we cannot live by the rule of Judges "and every man did what was right in his own eyes," but there are things that government has to keep out of. And that is interference that hurts rather then helps the country. So telling someone not to grow a certain food, or to throw away food away is not good. Telling someone that he cannot shoot the four salesman who comes to his door is not good. It depends.

There are some things I have to let the government do as far as my homes go. I have to let them determine the amount and charge me property taxes. That's about all that comes to mind when I think about the government and my home so I'm at a loss as to what exactly you're referring to.

Gew, this idea was made much worse with the passage of the patriot act under George W. Bush. But, all of us that were opposed to this back then were wrong, and history has shown who won that debate.

the only thing the goverment is doing is telling us how much taxes we have to pay which is fine, infact the goverment wants the houses here in alleghany county re asest the judge passed it but one of our leaders here went to harrisburge to stop that from happening because he said he wants to keep the house taxes low he don't want us paying any more money out. which was good most but not all goverment people here in pittsburgh are hard workers for the people and they seem to be making things better for us, the mayor is creating jobs here fixing roads that need fixed and doig what he can to fix our streets so things here are getting better so far.

I'll save you the travel expense and hook up web cams in every room of my house. What's going to happen to us if we don't use those GE light bulbs, by the way do you know? Cause I'm stocking up on the ones Thomas Edison invented. I hope to have enough stocked to last me the rest of my life. That way I don't have to worry about losing it if I accidently break one.
