Getting My Nails Clipped

Ouch! Getting My Nails Clipped

Every so often I am taken to get my nails clipped. I don't like going there, but it's really my own fault since I won't let my humans do it.

They pull each paw forward and clip each nail, all the while I am holding my breath that they don't accidentally clip the blood line. You just can't imagine how much that hurts!!!!

This is exactly the scenario happening around our country. The federal government constantly trims our nails back, taking more and more each time. Eventually they hit our blood line and it hurts!

They clip away at our freedoms, choices and ability to earn an honest living, all the while they decry we must pay for those who refuse to work, refuse to be morally and fiscally responsible, refuse to pay taxes or even refuse to follow the simplest of duties as an American citizen.

Let us not forget our federal employees. In 2011 federal workers and retirees owed $3.5 billion in delinquent taxes! If you add IRS contract workers, that number increases another $5.4 million. These numbers are as of March 2013, so are surely to be higher today. It is not enough for IRS to target honest, decent taxpayers, but to do so with deadbeats at their own door in incomprehensible. Let's clip away at the bloodline of cheaters by replacing our legislators and the administration.
