Today is the day everyone's taxes are due. Along with 95% of Americans I received a tax cut from President Obama this year and I am grateful for that savings. Even if the tax cut had not been given I would not complain too much. I think I am getting a pretty good deal for the money I pay. I am grateful for a stable government and all that it provides.
This year I am happy to pay the salary of the president. It is a terrible job, but I approve of the way our current president is doing his job and I think I am getting my money's worth. I like the senators and the congressman who represent me. They are doing a good job for me and my state and my country. I don't agree with all of the members of congress, but it is important to hear different sides of important issues and I am not complaining about paying them either. (I might make a small complaint about the guy is afraid that Guam is about to tip over.)
Most of his working life my husband has worked for NASA, so he has been a federal employee. I am grateful for all the years he earned a salary and for the retirement income he now receives.
I am grateful for a strong military that helps to keep our world safer. I am thankful for the interstate highway system. I am thankful for schools, trash collectors, public health agencies, police protection, food inspectors, public libraries, fire departments, and services for young children and old people. The list of the benefits we receive from our tax dollars goes on and on.
What is something that our taxes pay for that makes you feel thankful?

"You" should be the featured speaker on the Tea Party Express.
Thinker beat me to the public education thing,but there is so much more.
Our space program,that has led to collateral advances in the technology we use every day,for one.
Amen, sistah!!!! :)
I can't stand it when people bitch about taxes. It's like, "Well, would you like the police to come if someone is breaking into your home? Would you like firemen to save you from a burning building?" If so, then pay your damn taxes and stop whining about it! :) :)
In Australia although generally the health care system leaves a lot to be desired...I am grateful that for most of my life health care has been free when hospitallised...and public hospitals always have a better reputation for excellency that private ones over here..I am grateful for that, for education,
