So You Want to Come To America

$67,369 is the amount you will owe because of the federal debt. You might ask, why is that relevant to me? If you come here you will pay taxes even if you get government benefits. Everybody pays sales tax, gas tax, cell phone taxes, heat and electricity taxes regardless of their income.

Our government keeps spending more than it takes in, so this amount will only go up as long as the spending continues. You will be paying for wars in foreign countries, (perhaps with your life), you will be paying the wages and generous benefits of hundreds of thousands of government workers and politicians. You will be paying for lazy people who refuse to work or game the system. You will be paying for bailouts of failed banks and connected businesses.

To correct this debt they will have to raise taxes, cut the size of government, print more money, or default. The only good option that would work would be to shrink government, but we know that will never happen.

Look no further than what is happening in France when you over tax the working class to buy votes for re election.

Welcome to America, land of the not so free.
