			&#8220;TAXES!&#8221;</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Georgia; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Nothing is ever sure in this world except taxes! Yes, it&#8217;s that season.</span></strong></span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Georgia; color: #3366ff; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Taxes are a necessary evil. We give and give that there might be enough to fund functions of city, county, state, and country.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Georgia; color: #3366ff; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I like to think that the money I pay out in tax monies is tax revenue well spent for schools, military, fire protection, and law enforcement.</span></p>
<p><span id="more-309"></span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Georgia; color: #3366ff; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Yet, there are abuses in the tax system, people receiving who really shouldn’t be, and funds being used for programs I can’t morally support.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Georgia; color: #3366ff; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Jesus told us to give to Caesar what Caesar is due. That is what I shall and must do according to the laws of the land. Pay my taxes.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Georgia; color: #3366ff; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Those times when we receive a benefit that is the result of tax monies, and we all do, we should be grateful for the benefit. Not everyone is so lucky. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Georgia; color: #3366ff; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Be glad if you have enough money that you have to pay taxes. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Georgia; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That puts it into perspective.</span></strong></span></p>
