How Long Can American Taxpayers, Grin And Bear It?

    My daughter Cassandra, is ten and she is very small for her age. She only weighs just over sixty pounds. Although she would tell you,  that she is very responsible and very mature for a young lady her age it seems,  that their are still some things she still enjoys leftover  from early childhood. Almost every night before she goes to bed, she ask my wife Priscilla, to give her a piggyback ride to her bedroom. My wife keeps telling my daughter Cassandra, that she is getting a bit too big and frankly, a bit too heavy for a piggyback ride but I notice some how, my wife is able to finally just smile and left my daughter up on her back and cart her off to bed.
    The truth is my wife,  may complain, each  time she gives a piggyback ride to Cassandra, but I know as well as she does, that Cassandra, will always, be our baby and although she is getting heavier to carry her weight is a burden that my wife is still happy to bear. As a Christian, I know talks about bearing the burdens of others in Galatians,6:2 the apostle Paul says the following:"Bear ye, one another's  burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.Notice however that this law of Christ is done voluntarily out of love and genuine concern for the welfare of others.
    The government, seems to be very good,  at passing laws which result in huge tax burdens,  working men and women all  across this  nation are required to carry. One might say, that in a very real sense, working American taxpayers, are often expected not only to pay their own taxes, but the taxes of many others as well. When the government provides  unemployment benefits or food stamps Social Security and Medicare it is the American taxpayers, who must pay for these entitlements I realize of course senior citizens have earned their benefits but their are still many in country who could work if they really wanted to and were willing to take any job. As I see it, if a person could,  work but doesn't apply  for a given just because it's not the job they may have wanted and they are therefore, are  content to keep receiving various types of government assistance then in affect, such an individual is asking another working taxpayer to bear their burdens burdens in many cases that created because a person chooses to remain lazy.
   As unfair as this practice may be it now appears, President Obama, wishes to impose a  1.6 trillion dollar tax increase over the next ten years this proposal will be a key element in the deal to be worked out with the House to avoid the physical tax  cliff which this economically troubled nation shall surely plunge over if an acceptable compromise is not reached,  between the House and the Senate on behalf of the President The question is, if the Bush tax cuts, are allowed to expire and Obama care forces more and more businesses,  to cut hours or close their doors one can only imagine,  what an additional 1.6 trillion dollar tax increase over the next ten years will do to the nation's economy. Americans have always, been willing to help those in need, but the American taxpayer simply cannot keep giving half the nation a free piggyback ride real changes must be made and real solutions must be implemented very soon because when comes to bearing all these new proposed tax budens I don't think most Americans can grin and bear it much longer. as always, my friends, these thoughts remain just some words to think on.
