THE DICOTOMY OF THE AMERICAN MENTALITY

It's amazing...In general, Americans are "socialists" with regard to their desire for government services and are remarkably "libertarian" when it comes to paying taxes to pay for such benefits.

How can the American psyche deal with such cognitive dissonance?  When will we finally accept the undisputed fact that government must and can only tax to provide for benefits and services provided.  How we can separate the two sides of the same coin from one another is beyond me...

I suppose we are going to have to get to the point where these two realities are reconciled or we are going to continue to feel as discombobulated as we currently feel.

Are the benefits valuable enough to finance through the payment of reasonable tax rates to maintain them?  You make the call!!!  Get involved, have a voice, register a vote and speak your mind!!! 

Long-term the people will get it right!!!
