Taxes and Spending

By Guy E. Mailly

GUY MAILLY favors a smaller government with lower taxes and lower spending. Instead, both Democrats and Republicans continue to engage in pork-barrel politics. For example, the 109th Congress - for goodness sake, A Republican led Congress - just approved a Highway Transportation Bill for $ 286 Billion, inflated with special and pet projects for their districts.

WHY ARE YOUR TAX DOLLARS WASTED ON THESE PROJECTS?

· $1,200,000 for the Rocky Knob Heritage Center in Virginia;

· $1,600,000 for the Blue Ridge Music Center in Connecticut;

· $1,280,000 for the Cultural and Interpretive Center in Richland, WA;

· $400,000 for the Uptown Jogging, Bicycle, Trolley Trail in Georgia;

· $3,000,000 to fund a documentary film about Alaskan infrastructure.

Shouldn't a highway bill fund highways? The real question is, why is our federal government spending your money on these projects? Politicians in Washington spend your money for pork-barrel projects in their districts. They are out of touch with the people and know no restraint.

RESTORE FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
