Dear PV,

Government has figured it out! Simply tell the people that they are "raising taxes for the children" and the people hand over their wallets. It is unfortunate, but that is the line they use and will continue to use at the local, state and federal level until we tell them "No more!"

I am tired of hearing politicians and elected officials use this line which they don't really believe. I am the father of seven children who are and have been homeschooled. You may not want any children, Bill (I would not want you to have children if you don't want them, but the future of this country depends on the children being born today).

The productive taxpaying people are being fleeced of their money so the local, state and federal government can decide which programs they will fund. We really don't need any more laws or any more programs. We need to get rid of a lot of them (laws and programs).

I want to make the decision on where my money goes, thank you. I don't want GOVERNMENT (local, state or federal) to take ANY MORE of my money. We need to hold all elected people accountable for the way they vote.
