Symptomatic of the Problem

Our legislators just can't seem to stop spending our money to benefit their own personal interest groups. They seem incapable of recognizing the depth of the problem we are facing and instead continue to seek their own reelection. The Associated Press is reporting today that 4 senators were able to convince the Senate leaders to add tax deductions for those buying motorhomes or motorcycles. (You will probably not be shocked to find out that they have motorcycle and RV manufacturers in their states.) Is that really the best use of your taxing power Mssrs. Casey, Bond, Feingold and Kohl? I would contend that it is abuse to steal money from taxpayers and give it to someone just so they can buy a motorcycle. As if the rest of us don't already have enough bills to pay, now we have to pay for some stupid schmuck who wants to buy a motorhome. If you aren't fuming mad then I don't know what it takes to get you there.
