			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">Freedomworks: Lower taxes, Less government, More freedom</p>
<p>Great attention getter but lets dissect that statement&#8230;</p>
<p>Less government? According to the current financial mess &#8220;less government&#8221; got us into over the past 8 years of &#8220;unfettered greed&#8221;, I&#8217;m not so much up for that anymore. According to both the right and left, &#8220;more oversight is required&#8221;. That equals MORE government. A bad thing if you are a greedy SOB that wants more of the pie than they have already stolen&#8230; um&#8230; er&#8230; I mean &#8220;worked really hard at gutting real estate as a cornerstone of our economy&#8221;&#8230; um&#8230; I mean&#8230; well you know what I mean. For some suprising reason the Christ-like crews running Wall Street and Banks didn&#8217;t take care of anyone but themselves and the rest of us get to pay for it. Surprise! They are greedy humans! And yet this &#8220;Freedomworks&#8221; crew wants to have less government? THEY are above wanting to milk the American markets for billions? I doubt it. That temptation is too great. They are either very very confused or wanting their turn at the Wall Street trough.</p>
<p> Get the facts! 99.9999% of us should NEVER support groups like this because they are run by the folks who actually want NO GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT&#8230; the only reason I wouldn&#8217;t want government oversight is if I wanted to take you all to the cleaners and get away with it. AKA, &#8220;Repeat the past 8 years&#8221;.</p>
<p>Moving on to &#8220;Less taxes&#8221;&#8230;I ask &#8220;less for whom?&#8221;  The RICH? They already have excessive tax breaks from the republicans! Trickle-down economics people&#8230; give it all at the top and the masses will eat the crumbs. PLEASE THINK. I pay more in taxes than people that are making 3X more than me. You probably do too&#8230; THINK. Is that right? Fair? Support a flat tax. Cut everyone out of extreme exceptions and we can all pay the same percent. So hard to understand?</p>
<p>Quit fighting for the top 10% that put us in this financial mess because of reduced the oversight and the pulled teeth of the folks that were supposed to be watching out for us (AKA the government).</p>
<p>More freedom&#8230; this is an interesting one. More freedom&#8230; is it gradient? YES. Read Orwell&#8217;s Animal Farm. I support freedom so long as it comes with equality. Again, make the FreedomWorks puppet masters pay what I pay in taxes so we can both enjoy &#8220;More Freedom&#8221;. Give the American public the same health and education benefits as Congress. Today money does buy freedom. So if these fat cats are saying to reduce taxes for the rich you would increase what they retain&#8230; which means they have more freedom. I get it now. How silly I didn&#8217;t see it before.</p>
<p>With these statements they are misleading Americans with the same candy they used to deregulate Wall Street and the banking industry. &#8220;Less government&#8221; is the cry used to deregulate Wall Street. We, the tax payers (you and I) already pay for and expect the government to protect us from the folks that are behind Wall Street deregulation and &#8220;FreedomWorks&#8221;.</p>
<p>Please <strong>think</strong> people. Put a stop to idiotic organizations like this that generate then prey on the fear of your fellow Americans.</p>
<p>Fight organisations like this with education and knowledge. Don&#8217;t be a lemming!</p>
