My neighbors and I will be attending tonight's Town Council meeting. They are voting on a sewer tax. This means that in addition to our water bill, we will now have to pay for a sewer tax. This is an outrage when most of the folks around here are underemployed or unemployed. Several of my neighbors have been looking for work for the past nine months. Why are we being taxed to death? Most of the town workers live in fancy suburbs and expect us to pay for their salary increases, pension and health benefits. How outrageous since this is a working-class/middle-class town that has no business hiring expensive "experts" or managers. While many of us have been forced to take unpaid furlough days by the Governor, salary increases and other benefits were promised to town workers. I find this whole system of exorbitant tax increases on owners of single-family homes or small businesses beyond ludicrous. Why should we pay for people who are not invested in our town? Why do politicians make promises at the expense of the little people?
We would not be in this mess if our congressional representatives and senators had the courage to significantly trim back the Defense Budget. Trillions of dollars are being squandered in evil ventures and the little people are forced to pay for two ideological wars that a large percentage of Americans do not support or condone. Do we feel safe from the wrath of fanatics or deranged individuals? Of course not! Enough is enough!
