As the saying goes, there’s only two things for certain in life – death and taxes.  Death, it turns out, is unequivocally unavoidable.  Taxes, on the other hand, is a certainty invented by – and imposed by – ourselves.  So let us take a look, for a moment at some of the terrible things that taxes do to us.  Interest rates, for example can make the cost of borrowing unattainable.  For you homeowners out there, you can use an amortization calculator to see just how much it costs you to borrow for your home.

It’s not that taxes are a new invention as they have in fact been around for centuries.  But does that make them okay?  I, for one, am not afraid to say NO!  Taxes take wealth from the many hard working men and women in society and incorporates it into the fat, faceless, inefficient bungle-machine that we call government.  The government takes this wealth and squanders it as it sees fit; generally to the betterment of corrupt politicos the world over.

So what can we do?  Rise up and say NO to the higher taxes and NO to big government!
