We work, on average, 103 days per year to pay our taxes.
My favorite book, Atlas Shrugged, contains 645,000 words. One of my least favorite documents, the federal tax code, contains 3,700,000 words. Sounds like its time for a flat tax or the FairTax.

Is this the "change" we want?
We are in the 11th hour in the decision for our next president and either we have our heads up our asses or we're all like moths following the bright and shiny light in the Obama/Biden moth trap.
Exactly how does the Obama/Biden camp define rich? Exactly how would an Obama administration change our already onerous and ridiculous tax code?
Obama's tax-cut threshold shrinking? Confusion abounds as voters hear $250,000, $200,000, now $150,000
Originally, Obama said everyone making less than $250,000 will not see a tax increase.
Then Obama said that everyone making$200,000
Then there is the famous claim that "95 percent of working Americans" will receive a tax break. However, 95% of Americans would only include those making less than $153,542 per year (which essentially supports Biden's claim).
Nevermind the continual flip-flopping between "tax cut" and "no tax increase."
So exactly where would an Obama administration draw the line? The election has yet to happen and the taxation message out of the Obama/Biden camp has changed more often then there are days remaining until the election. Is this the type of change we want - continually changing positions on the issues? Perhaps next the limit for a tax increase will be near the poverty level so EVERYONE sees a tax increase. Again, I ask, "is this really the 'change' we want??"

How dare you question me....I am Joe Biden. Don't you know how important I am?!?!
Barbara West of Florida's WFTV grilled Joe Biden about a potential Obama administration's marxist leanings. She even quoted Karl Marx ("from each according to his ability, to each according his need") and asked how Obama is not a Marxist if he intends to "spread the wealth."
Biden asks if the question is a joke. Personally, I find nothing funny about Obama's Marxism.
I'm mesmerized by Biden's last comment. When asked what he would say to people who are concerned that Obama wants to turn America into a socialist country, such as Sweden, Biden said, "I don't know anyone who thinks that except the far right wing of the Republican party." Hey Biden, you big jabroni, you must not know any Libertarians. I am no where near the "far right wing of the Republican party" and Obama's marxist leanings scare me.
