The Small stuff

The leaves slight change from green to yellow, orange and red. The sound of the a loved one breathing as they sleep. The smell of flowers. For most people these are the small unnoticed thing in day to day life as we fight to keep our heads above water, gasping for air, fighting past mounting debt and despair that the government is so willing to lay upon us without blinking. Why? We are the little things that go unnoticed to them. Our suffering, our pain and loss as they place higher and higher taxes on the middle class.

Trickle-down effect. Some of the more commonly used words in politics referencing to the theory that if given less taxes the upper class will spend more, more freely. However the presumption is grossly incorrect. No matter how little taxes you give them its not going to encourage them to spend more then they feel they need to because lets face it they got to where they are now through hard work and major penny pinching or like few they got lucky. That being said why isn't the government pushing higher taxes onto the peoples who have so much money that they can afford to have at least one car for every day of the week if not more. Sure we look at all those hot shots on "Cribs" and say "Gee, I'd like to be like them" but how is it that they can have a bathroom the size of a ten car garage while we scrounge around enough money to fill up our gas tanks. Sure not everyone faces the same dilemma but lets face it we could all benefit from some taxes lowered off our shoulders and some hefted onto the shoulders of the society that can send their children to a private/prep school where they get three or more gourmet meals every day while have children and families that go hungry. It makes absolutely no sense to me but if you can figure it out let me know.
