Why I want to Be in Congress

Can I get my $3 Trillion Back?

The great and sad part about the US tax system is how it works.

Uncle Sam gets paid first, and has an entire department designed to a catch you cheating at it.

If you get caught, your punishment depends on how much money you have and make.

The more you have, the less you serve.

Plus, you can’t pick and choose where your tax dollars go.

I, for one, wish that my tax dollars didn’t go to paying politicians.

I would like to designate that my tax dollars go to roads, to schools, to firefighters and police.

I’d like to pay for parks, and rangers and conservation.

I want to support the arts, but since it’s in the eye of the beholder, that’s tough.

I’m not really a fan of Maplethrope or any of the “shock” artists, nor do I want to give a grant to one of the splatter jocks.

So art is tough to support and tougher to define. Maybe paying for kids to have access to museums and plays and art classes at the local level.

I’d like to cover the military, but not defense contractors, which would be even tougher to pick and choose than artists.
