For a while now, we've been told that our lifestyles are
UNSUSTAINABLE ….well, there are even more UNSUSTAINABLES than you may have
imagined like UNSUSTAINABLE public employee benefits; UNSUSTAINABLE public
health care, UNSUSTAINABLE public pensions, UNSUSTAINABLE public salaries, UNSUSTAINABLE
government loan programs (governments should not be loaning money to businesses.)
And UNSUSTAINABLE land purchases for UNSUSTAINABLE parks and
other projects that are UNSUSTAINBLE to rehab.
Are you wondering why these things are Unsustainable? That’s
simple, they’re paid for by taxpayers whose pockets are UNSUSTAINABLE; pockets
that are being emptied to pay for all the spending done by governments.
Just because something
is a good idea does not mean that government should do it.
A public enterprise equals tax dollars. The monies spent by those we elect are
referred to as the government. Private
enterprise equals an individual’s money that he has earned or borrowed. Either way the individual is risking his own
money.
Private enterprise is the process by which individuals decide
whether a project is worth doing and if it will make enough money to keep the
project going. If the project is in much
demand the owner has to hire people thereby creating jobs.
If the owner hires more people than he has enough money to
pay, his business will become UNSUSTAINABLE.
He has to decide what to eliminate or close the doors and those he
employed will no longer have a job….but the owner still has to pay back any
money he borrowed.
People elected to public office are the government. We entrust them with our tax dollars that we
make sacrifices for. Paying taxes means
that we don’t have as much money left to do some of the things we’d like to do
so we have to budget and sometimes eliminate things altogether.
The word “government” is a term that causes people to forget
where all the money comes from….a term that takes the personal sacrifice of
those paying the taxes out of the grand idea called government. This term is meant to make us believe that
there is “some big stash” in the “who knows where” with endless money to spend
on endless projects.
Sometimes taxes are voted on by your neighbors who don’t own
property or even have a job. They don’t pay property taxes, and they don’t pay
income taxes, but they get to vote, so they force you to pay the taxes and your
pocket gets picked. Sooner or later this
too will be UNSUSTAINABLE.
