I’ll be putting my tax return into a savings account since the responsible way to manage our personal family budgets is to reduce our consumption and conserve our financial resources.

I strongly disagree with the protests I am reading about ostensibly about “overtaxation.” The reason the upper 5% of income earners pay over 50% of taxes is not because of injustice. The injustice is how many middle class taxpayers have entered lower tax brackets based on the largest re-distribution of wealth, from working men and women, to a financial oligarchy in the history of these United States. The government is trying to restore equilibrium to restore crumbling roads, bridges and infrastructure. Shame on those teabaggers!

The government withholds our tax contributions all year long. After we get OUR money back, it would be foolish to spend it on something frivolous. We work hard for what we earn and the way we spend our tax efund says something about how we earned it.

This article is absolutely correct. For God’s sake people, don’t go splurging with any refund money you receive. I know the government wants you to spend it to stimulate the economy, but no one else will be, so my advice is to save it. Go put it in a mattress under your bed. Go put it in a bank. Invest it in safe bonds. But that 75-inch plasma TV can wait. The last thing we need in this country is more people going to the poor house because when the government threw them a safety net they chewed right through it.
