Tax Reform?
Tax reform made a small blip on the news radar recently with announcement of the Presidents new "tax reform panel". The media seems very luke warm to this ever having any impact or ever doing anything serious towards really reforming the tax code, i.e. sacking the IRS as it as exists today and replacing it with a national sales tax or flat tax.
My personal view is that the government and the media seem to delight in cavorting this "carrot" in front of our collective noses in order to keep us believing year after year that somehow magically this economic slavery called income taxes, social security taxes and other such legal tax extortion will be lifted from us. Not likely, the way things are going!
The only way for this to really happen is for a new idealism is this country based on the need to be constantly vigilant and politically engaged in the very soul of our political world. To be self sufficient and not reliant on the government for a handout. A handout by the way that comes out the pocket of every hard working American and small busimess in this country. Many people falsely believe that the rich are paying these handouts, but that cannot be further from the truth. If the individual rich are paying out large sums of money to the government they have lousy CPA's or they just like giving the government their money for whatever reasons. Don't think this is true? Then why do you think the politicians never raise the zero tax levels above the income level of the working folks and the small business owner. It's obvious, because the aforementioned are paying the lions share of the taxes in this country. The political power base know's this and for them to act or say otherwise is dishonest and outright lying. There is no such thing as "taxing the rich". That is a lie perpetuated by both sides of the political isle for their own purposes. The leftist progressives perpetuate this lie as showing that are trying redistribute the wealth of the rich, while the right says the rich are being victimized. Neither of which is true, as I stated before.
Governments are supposed to be for and by the people, but what we have now at all levels are special interest agenda driven governments. Especially at the federal and state level. Many of these agendas tend to focus on making sure that these special interest groups or their constituencies receive the lions share of the tax payers money.
To make matters worse these governments setup a legal extortion system where by if you refuse to pay these taxes they can legally steal everything you have. Folks this is what the mafia does, only for them to do so is illegal. Either way you look at it, it's extortion and it's wrong. Any tax that threatens a persons income or property is immoral and flatly wrong! Taxes on goods and certain services, money changing hands in commerce, I can agree with because then these governments revenue would be tied directly to the economy and then these governments would be forced take measures that insure the survival of and the growth of our economy. Also irreversible laws must be enacted that prohibits these governments to legally steal from their citizens by enacting any form of income or property taxes.
I am sure this will upset all the agenda driven constituencies, but that is too bad. This country was NOT founded on the principle of welfare either corporate or social, especially bourn on the backs of working men and women and people trying to build and maintain a business. This is a travesty and must stop.
It would be great if I could see the same concern for our economic future and safety and security of our income and property as is being shown for other high profile interests in the world today. If we could collectively engage ourselves at all levels of government, if we had the time, we could be a mighty force for change that would sweep the world. Remember you have no real freedom if your money and your property can be taken from you. Just because it's legal does not make it moral or right.
In particular the Sixteenth amendment must be REPEALED. Careful study of the history of this amendment is awash in scandal, hi-jinks, and fraud. Based on what we know today of how voting was so predominately rigged in this country at the time, the way this amendment was put into law would be under a thunderous legal attack today. Unfortunately though due to a spineless Supreme Court, we are saddled with this atrocity until it is repealed.
Time to get involved folks and send a message to your your elected officials that you want real tax reform not just a carrot and a stick!
