IDES OF APRIL 2009 SALUTES THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER

Today is the deadline for all Americans to file their 2008 Income Tax Returns unless they have been granted an extension by the IRS. We recognize the loyalty, the credibility, the heroism, and the persistence of the American Taxpayers who meet their civic responsibility every year to paying their fair share of revenue to the United States Treasury to support the programs of the Federal Government. In its response, we hope and encourage the Federal Government to listen to the requests of the American Taxpayer to spend these resources with responsibility and with accountability to the realistic needs of running a multi-trillion dollar enterprise effectively and efficiently with limited bureaucracy.

The American Taxpayer is fully aware of the many individuals and organizations who ignore and subvert their civic responsibility by refusing to pay their fair share to the United States Treasury administered by the Federal Government. However, there may be just cause for concern when every day there are additional examples of wasted governmental spending and favoritism shown to pet projects and entitlement programs that have lost their realism. In addition, the American Taxpayer is fully aware of the Underground Economy in this wonderful Country that short-changes the United States Treasury by more than a TRILLION DOLLARS A YEAR by their refusal to pay their fair share.

For our United States of America, we salute and honor the many American Taxpayers who contribute their TIME, their TALENTS, and their TREASURES to advance the climb up and down the AMERICAN LADDER OF ACHIEVEMENT by their PATRIOTISM especially during crisis periods. We do appreciate all of these HEROES who make the day-to-day operations of the Federal and State Governments possible and operational by their sacrifices of significant portions of their hard-earned revenues to make government undertakings a reality. Our IDES OF APRIL 2009 SPECIAL RECOGNITION RECIPIENTS are the AMERICAN TAXPAYERS from all of our 50 States and Territories who LOVE THEIR COUNTRY with their active participation in the RED, WHITE, AND BLUE!
