Political Rant…

Well, New York State has done it again, I just returned from getting my fishing license and once again the prices have gone up! An annual fishing license will run you $29 this year and if you plan on fishing Stripers; you will have to tack on another $10 for the new Hudson River license.

What the hell are these morons in Albany thinking? They already tax the crap out of everything, including the new soda tax; that they are currently working on. What is frustrating is that they keep finding new ways to embezzle money from the hard working citizens of New York. Gas and food prices remain at an all time high. Mean while employers are taking advantage of the unemployment crisis by low balling their wages. No lie, I recently interviewed for a job with a local company that required a clean commercial license and 3+ years experience as a service technician. Being that I am qualified for the position, I thought great finally a decent job opening! Wrong, the low balling scums were only offering a salary barely above minimum wage. I mean really what are they expecting people to do, if we earn next to nothing, but pay, and pay, and pay ridiculous cost for everything.

What will be next? Maybe they will require an annual permit to walk your dog! Here is an idea, how about we tax the people that deserve it. Just in case you do not get what I am saying, here are a couple ideas for the government tax reform!

Lobbyist Tax- If you idiot politicians are going to continue to show favoritism and give special interest to the big corporation’s lobbyist, than tax the shit out of them for the privilege!

Politician Luxury Tax- Every time a government official attends a black tie event or fancy fund raising dinner, a portion of proceeds should be paid in taxes. This tax could be possible in countless situations.

Jail Tax- If a criminal is supported in our jail system, they should accrue a tax based on the time that tax payers supported there asses. They have no problem tallying up and smacking parents with ridiculous amounts of child support, so this should be an easy transition. You did a year in jail; you pay a year in taxes!

I am sure if I thought a while longer I could come up with more, but I think I made my point. It is a good thing that there is not an ignorance tax or we would have a country full of broke politicians. Where the hell do we go from here? This is just scary!

Here is my biggest and best idea; Elect our nation’s leaders based on their integrity, common sense, and work ethic. Not on the color of their skin, sex or political affiliation!

The best thing that could happen to our country is that we get a system lead by hard working Americans, not a bunch of bought Republicans and Democrats!

I don’t know how or why it happens, but ignorant people end up having the loudest voices! They end up being the decision makers and ultimately the ones screwing everything up.

Thanks for putting up with my ranting folks and as always, Fish On!
