April 15 is one of the worst days of the year.
It is the day that state and federal income taxes are due in most states. While some get tax returns for overpaying taxes the previous year, others must pay the government thousands to avoid prison time. In turn, the government wastes that money on garbage and still can’t pay its bills.
However, big government Democrats want the government to spend even more money. In the case of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and his ilk, some people want the government to spend so much money that they can’t even estimate how much the social programs they want would cost. However, those costs would likely double or even triple the size of the federal government.
If liberals want a bigger government that requires more tax dollars and higher deficits, they should lead by example and contribute more money to the government.
