I wish I could tell you it is going to get better but I would be speaking with a forked tounge. Things really started going to hell in a hand basket during the Johnson administration in 1964.

My son used to live in New York City and he had to pay federal, state, county, and city income taxes which added up to 53% of his pay. Tell me that if you don't even get 50% of what you make it is anywhere close to fair.

The bad thing is that the welfare loafers have tipped the scales and can vote the worthless politicians in office that will give them what they want.

I turned 69 today and am not going to live long enough to see this great country really crater. The politicians have dumbed down the electorate enough that they will believe anything and vote for them if they promise goodies. I feel very sorry for my son, grand children, and all of you young folks because you are not going to have a chance to make it.
