Paying Taxes

Since we are into a new year and have received the W2 forms I have been busy getting all of my information together to file my 2006 taxes.

I dont mind paying taxes because I feel that it is my duty but it brings to mind the facts that a lot of money is being wasted by our government and its leaders and they are still worried about every penny that they say is income.

I received a form in the mail listing the small amount of state taxes that I got back the year before last to file with my taxes as income for the past year.

Did you ever try to figure the number of times that you pay taxes on the same income? This also happens on our retirement money and most of what we spend.

Bush's Iraq conflict has cost us numerous lives and many billion dollars.

The hurricane funding has wasted billions of dollars on undeserving people and thieves with seemingly no control by our government. We should help people in need, but the money should be handled more wisely.

This is just two of the many areas in which our tax money in being wasted.

I just wish that my little bit of tax money would be handled with more care and maybe it would make paying the taxes a more pleasant experience.

Sorry for the rambling.
