I've decided to have a new political soapbox. I have been ranting and raving about taxes (especially the Social Security Tax) to my friends, family, neighbors, and anyone else who will listen for years now. I have written letters to my congressman, senators, and Presidents asking for reductions and reform, all with no avail. Actually, my congressman wrote back a somewhat nasty letter where he basically said that I was too ignorant to be able to have an opinion and that I should trust him.
Anyway, that idiot of congressman was up for re-election. I voted for the democrat (there was no libertarian running for the office), knowing full well that my congressman who thinks I am too stupid to form a congent opinion on tax policy on my own would be re-elected despite my vote against him and the fact that I got others in my district to vote against him.
This has spurred me to step onto a new soapbox: Term Limits. I think that term limits need to be set. I don't have time right now to go into all the reasons for term limits and to lay out a plan, but stay tuned because I will. I think if we can get Term Limits enacted (yeah, right - like congress will vote themselves out of a job) then we can actually try to clean up some of the other messes (such as taxes) that government has caused.
