NEW MEMBERS: Stop in and say hello!

[Mr. Jay Tac]

Howdy everyone. Just found out about this forum from the contest, seems like a great place. Not sure why it won't give me the option to post a picture in my post though...?

Best way is to use a free photo host like photobucket.com.

I guess I really should stop here and say Hi. I've been using the forum for a few days now and it seems like I'll be quite happy here.

3 years ago we decided to leave Finland (who the hell wants to continue paying 23.5% sales tax on top of all the other taxes?).

And I thought we had it bad...

Not here in my country my friend. We can still vote them out too. Gasoline in most European and Scandinavian countries also hovers around $8 a gallon. In England ow it's pretty much $10 a gallon. 80% of the cost of a gallon of gas is tax. These are the taxes that pay for the not only the politicians bloated lifestyles but also for all those so called 'free' medical services which aren't free. Taxes get taken from welfare payments too. People who go to a doctor have to pay some small co-payment also.

It didn't used to be that way back 30, 40 and 50 years ago. The 'socialist' utopia did work for a little while. Then the costs ate away at what the governments had in their coffers for income. The only way to keep that going was increasing taxes. But the costs kept going up because more and more people found out that they didn't have to work at all to have an apartment and drink and smoke and never work.

Of course, as we are seeing in our young history as a country, we are finding out the same. Government expenditure goes up and up to pay for government employees and agencies to administer such programs.

This is all a house of cards that will fall in on itself. As an economical model it can never succeed. Fortunately, here in our good ole USA, our economic system is not built and has not been remodeled to a system that is designed to keep people poor. There is still hope for us yet. We CAN avoid $8 a gallon gasoline and 23.5% sales tax.

I've actually been a member since 2012, but not active. I am starting to look around and see where I fit in. Looks good so far.

Whats up guys. I've been a WE lurker for a long time. I'm sure a few of you have seen me around the net. ARF, M4C, silencer talk, etc. Marine Corps K9 handler combat vet, general gun nerd, everything tact-un-cool, iconoclast. These days I shoot more pictures than I do lead, and ride a college desk most days.
