If a man’s life (or death) is worth$50 million why am I buying life insurance? Seriously. And why am I paying what feels like exorbitant taxes? Right now here is the message the United States government is sending:

• Our national debt is not a concern – we keep making up money to spend on Iraq, bin Laden and inauguration parties
• Taxes are not necessary to raise money to fund events and functionality within the government
• I can get myself into enough debt to have caused George Washington to die of a heart attack had he seen the nation in that much debt

Fun, huh?
