Uncle Sam Stealing Cows?

Right now there is a large disparity in how much money the government is owed, and how much it actually collects. In this country we seemd to have a lot of people who think that they don't need to pay the taxes that they owe. This is the place that the Democrats are hoping to start in their plans to increase the amount of money coming into the government from the people. Now, going after tax cheats doesn't sound like a bad idea at all, I mean, who could argue with the government getting the people who are avoiding taxes? The problem in all of this is that the people who are currently avoiding those taxes aren't people just trying to scam the government by not reporting or by hiding things. It is the middle class people like plumbers and small family owned businesses who don't report a tip here or there. These are the people who are going to be burdened with codes and paperwork and who will be giving up more of their income in order to help a government who has been all too loose with their spending. The money will be coming from places which we may all consider too close to home. So it would seem that instead of going after big corporations who, albeit legally, find every tax break available and abuse them in order to save a buck. we are going to go after people who are barely struggling to hold on as it is. So consider yourself warned, it would seem the government is going to squeeze another penny out of the hard-working middle class, and again leave the big-wigs alone.
