It's Too Expensive To Live In New York, So, I Will Propose A 70% Tax For New Yorkers In Order To Help Pay My Bills

OK, I'm struggling with some things here. Didn't I read or hear about Alexandria Ocasio Cortez complaining about how high the cost of living is in New York, and how she was having a hard time finding and affordable place to live? Next thing I know, she is proposing a 70% tax for those who live in the state of New York. Do we see what is going on here?

I think it was in the state of Illinois, where I heard that the tax on a house is extremely high, and if you don't pay that tax, you will not be able to live in your house, even if it is paid off. So, one could be all set in their retirement, having paid every last cent on the bill for the house, yet, still be kicked out because the owner can't afford the taxes.

Does anyone see the problem(s) here? First, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez realizes the high cost of living. Then, she proposes this unreal tax on the people. That will help pay for the rent that she says she can't afford.

My question is, do the people who live in these areas of the country, realize what is going on? And if so, do they see the connection between who they voted for and the kinds of decisions those who are voted into office are making for us?

Things like this happened in Bible days as well. People who served in the top levels of the governments sometimes made good decisions that served the country well. Conversely, some who were in office made bad or wrong decisions, and brought great harm to the people.

God has given us in America, the opportunity to vote and elect the people we choose into office. But some people want to stay away from politics because they believe that politics are bad. Others actually believe, and I have heard this before, that Christians have no place being involved in politics.

(One time, I brought some voter guides to a church building, who supposedly wanted them. I talked with the lady who was a secretary who wasn't very kind at all, and refused to take the voter's guides. She said that we shouldn't be judging people! Do these people not understand what the issues are at hand? A voter's guide simply is a paper revealing the answers of candidates concerning certain questions that were asked of them.)

We probably have embraced those two ways of doing things, for now we are reaping what we have sown. Either we don't care, or are uninformed of what's going on around us, or, we have this simple belief that says we are to stay away from politics.

Is this what we want? Be assured, this trend will find its way in each state eventually, if we don't step up and become responsible citizens.

Don't ever forget to pray for our country. We need God's help and intervention like never before.
