What I think

Many people will come to the impression that the US is a country of happiness, joy, and a marvelous with the money you can possibly make.  What people fail to understand is through every avenue that money comes in through, the government will be there to collect some of your hard earned money that you, and only YOU worked hard for. If you still have not understood the whole image I am trying to paint, let me paint it this way. Let’s say you have a lemonade stand, your lemonade stand makes 75 cents every hour. You are working for 8 hours a day, that means in that day you made 6 dollars. You are out there selling lemonade for 7 days straight, at the end of the week you make 42.00 dollars. The government will come in and takes a certain percent, let’s say they take 10% of what you make, and if my math was correct you will end up with 4 dollars. That’s how someone making minimum wage lives, living from paycheck to paycheck, all because of the hounds above us running and stealing a percent of what WE make, and for what? “To pay taxes” or pay some other bull crap expenses where other clear options can be taken to help with those “taxes” and expenses.  If you ask me it feels as if the dream, the American Dream as people call it costs. Living in a country where your dreams cost more than what you make is scary, the millions dollar question is, what can we do to change it?
