Our Road












You work your whole life. You pay your taxes – boy, do you pay your taxes. Unlike upper-middle and upper-class folks who have tax preparers and accountants to help them with their taxes and find deductions and loopholes and so forth, you get slammed every year and you can barely keep afloat…then, the worst happens.

You get old and disabled and you can’t work any more and your disability/social security isn’t really enough to live on and you never were able to get much retirement money together so the government gives you something called SSI. Between that and Social Security you still don’t have enough to live on but what can you do?

Diana Bulgarelli telling it like it is.

I can tell you where my taxes went in the main over a 50-year working life.  For numerous wasteful, bullshit wars--not a single one that I supported.  Furthermore, I don't think they kept me "free," either.
