GOVERNMENT'S ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY – PART 2
Patrick Parkes  November 29, 2016

Government efforts to justify higher taxes while already spending more than necessary to provide essential services amounts to a direct assault on individuals' economic freedom, and that's what the Kansas Association of School Boards did last week.  The first installment of their three-part series attempted to make the case that Kansas' personal income is growing slower than the national average, which they believes proves that tax reform didn't work and is therefore justification for a large tax increase (so they get their cut).  Think about that; they say personal income is sluggish, and their solution is to make it worse with higher taxes!

The second installment of their series poses that Kansas tax revenue has not kept up with the growth in personal income, which they believe means taxes should be increased so they get more to spend.  They ignore the fact that local school boards routinely choose to spend more than necessary, oppose common sense efficiency measures, and don't even spend all of the aid they already receive.   just believe they are entitled to more of your money.

They claim that personal income measures "...how much people can spend, save and invest" but that's patently false.  The government definition of personal income includes several amounts that don't show in people's pay checks and therefore aren't available to be taxed, including employer contributions for retirement and medical insurance, and even Medicaid and Medicare payments!

Comparing tax revenue to inflation, however, shows that government has been doing very nicely.  Even after tax reform allowed citizens to keep more of their hard-earned money, General Fund tax revenue for FY 2016 was $860 million more than if it had been increased for inflation since FY 1995. And even that presumes that FY 1995 tax revenue was only enough to efficiently provide services, so the real excess taxation is far greater than $860 million.

What I have a problem understanding, is why people that live in small communities, such as Elk County complain about the problems
on the National level ! 

Why worry about that ?

If you don't care about the very same problems in your own backyard, why worry about the national level ?

You are being lied to frequently about how much money is needed to run a school effectively and efficiently in order to take more of your money
in the form of higher property taxes. But you don't care ! Have any of you demanded that the school board of idiots call for a state audit to find out
where all your money is going?

Elk County has a Council woman who says her job does not include answering to the people of Elk County. She said so during the
Elk County Budget Hearing. Do you care ?

She also gave away $100,000 dollars of your money, yes, your tax dollars,

Remember the  Elk County "KKK'' ? No nothing racists.  I speak of the Konnected Kounty Kommissioners ! You still have two on the
commissioner's board. Remember when Elk Konnected said they were not permitting the "Old Guard" to be a part of their organization?
Remember, they said they were making sure of that? Well it's always been my opinion th at  Elk Konnected could not do that because they
were the "Old Guard" .

It was and is my opinion the reason the "Old Guard" put together Elk Konnected was to control the yearly Million dollars from the Wind Farm,

Look how poorly the "KKK''  (Konnected Kounty Kommissioners) have wasted the money ! Or actually how they have wasted the money like
tenagers with a twenty dollar bill burning a hole in there pocket.

County debts not paid off!
No real improvement to county roads!
No savings for emergency funds!
No vision of a future.
Giving away money as if a socialist government.
Just go back to page one of this thread and read the socialist ideas.
A reminder you have at least one of those socialists on the school board.

I wonder why anyone can complain about the National problems, when local problems go unnoticed.
That even includes fake news in local newspapers!

You see it's my belief if you can't straighten up government on the local level, beginning with the smallest of towns
and county governments you have no where to go !

If we could get local governments under control working for the people, then those politicians could use pressures to cause
the same to happen on the state levels.

And right on up to the National level.

There is no way to stop corruption from the top down.

Giving away taxpayer money is corruption?

Hiding theft by a county employee by county commissioners  is corruption.

JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT !

Media that focus on scandals and spread fake news to smear politicians risk becoming like people who have a morbid fascination with excrement, Pope Francis said in an interview published on Wednesday.

http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-pope-media-idUKKBN13W23Y

Did I just read that right. The Pope just used the politically correct term for "shit" ?

He also said:

"I think the media have to be very clear, very transparent, and not fall into - no offence intended - the sickness of coprophilia, that is, always wanting to cover scandals, covering nasty things, even if they are true," he said.

http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-pope-media-idUKKBN13W23Y

Is this man for real? I think it takes a sick mind to make that sick bridge.
I had never heard that sick word in my entire 70 years. And I wish I hadn't heard it now !
Apparently he did not like the reporting the truth of the churches child sexual scandals.
But witout reporting it, it would most likely still be happening.
