Poverty Travels Slowly

 

I think it is hard thing when the government taxes us its people a whopping 10% plus 7.65% for FICA/SECA that is 17.65% for any one making over $8,350 per year! That is 17.65% of your time is employed in its service. Which is 1:40 minimum  of your 8 hour work day gone to some politicians idea of freedom.  If your self employed it can be as high as 50.3% plus state and local taxes.  As corrupt as this is there is something worse than high taxes that can consume us like a rust, idleness.  I am reminded of a painting by Rembrandt “The Deadly Sin of Sloth”.  All of us have a limited amount of time it is the very stuff that life is made of! Time is the most precious thing we spend.  So let us stop wishing and hoping for change “he that lives on hope dies fasting” If you have a trade you have wealth; If you have an estate you have wealth; if you have a calling you have wealth; however they must be worked to have life.  Taxes on our labor is a sure thing; but beware by  laziness poverty travels slowly and overtakes you.  

Doesn’t she look peaceful don’t be deceived by sloth! High taxes are bad Sloth is worse.  High taxes rob you of your time!  Sloth robs you of your life.

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.  Proverbs 6:10-12 (King James Version) Discover the 8 secrets of the successfully employed here at http://stayemployed.aimize.com/
