The Heritage Foundation Papers: TaxesThe Heritage Foundation Papers: Taxes The Senate health insurance premium tax would impose new costs on Americans who already have coverage while deferring for years the even larger amounts that Congress proposes to spend subsidizing those without coverage. Through either Medicare Advantage or Medigap, seniors would pay approximately 17 percent of the new premium tax: the second largest share after workers in small business, who would pay 54 percent. View Article - Wed, 09 Dec 2009 12:02:55 EST Congress should not use the need to extend current policy as an excuse to raise taxes, because preventing a tax hike is not a tax cut. View Article - Tue, 08 Dec 2009 10:27:14 EST Congress should stick with current policy and permanently repeal the death tax once and for all. Abolition of this harmful tax will help spur economic recovery, put unemployed Americans back to work and increase the long-term growth potential of the economy. View Article - Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:11:16 EST Congress is proposing a surtax on high-income individuals to help pay for health care reform that would burden the economy and slow its recovery from the recession. View Article - Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:07:13 EST The U.S. Senate's proposal for a government-run hostile takeover of the entire U.S. health care system includes a barrage of higher taxes. View Article - Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:10:10 EST Congress should repeal the estate tax once and for all to remove an unfair burden from the backs of American family-owned businesses and their workers. View Article - Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:11:30 EST Policymakers should do what their voters want them to do: They should repeal the death tax and kill it, once and forever. View Article - Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:11:45 EST The Pelosi health care plan relies on a large surtax that would gradually encompass all American taxpayers, much like the dreaded Alternative Minimum Tax does. View Article - Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:13:37 EST The Joint Tax Committee recently shed important new light on the proposed "Cadillac excise tax" contained in the Senate Finance Committee’s health care bill. View Article - Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:14:13 EST The Baucus plan's excise tax on "Cadillac" health insurance plans would fall mostly on low- and middle-income workers.

hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are |
| endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. | |
| |
 — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Were you required to learn these words in school? Sure everyone can recite the first part of this paragraph, but what about the rest? More importantly do you recall the opening which puts it all in context, or the passionate words that follow?
Take a few minutes before you go too far into this site, and read the complete Declaration of Independence. It won't take that long, and it will remind you of how far our country has strayed from it's founding.
Why do I encourage this? Because it all began here. And most Americans today still live there, even if they are no longer asked to simply read our founding documents. I stopped and thought the other day that I have read 8 books in the last few months (most over 500 pages) , and yet our entire constitution is only a few short pages (a far cry from the 64,000+ pages of the tax code). So take the time to read it, then speak your mind with me! Thanks again for visiting.
