‘Ask not, what your country can do for you, ask what your country can DO to you.’
That should be the quote from every politician in every election.
One wants to lower taxes….a plus, except for the fact that the tax base has shrunk due to Nafta and all the industry that has left the country.
One wants to raise taxes…..a negative except for the fact that the country is literally broke.
As much as one says that they are cutting taxes, there have been significant tax increases in sales tax, gasoline tax, cigarette tax, liquor tax, motor vehicle tax. However, these same groups help subsidize farmers NOT to grow crops, prop up the diary farmers forcing the cost over $3.00 a gallon, and continue to support an ever expanding war. The only taxes that are being cut are for the upper percentage of wage earners and Corporations in order to “stimulate the economy”.
Yeah, I’m stimulated alright.
Then theres the group who wants to raise taxes. Over the years, they have also supported the Pork Barrel programs mentioned above, as much as they pretend to disagree with them all. One only has to look at their voting records to see that statement is true.
Will they raise taxes on the rich? Possibly, but they will also restore many deductions that were removed which will have the same result as the other program. Oh, this will cause Bill Gates to give a couple more million to starving Africans, all the while earning that total back in about 10 minutes.
Then theres the people who won’t get press. who won’t get heard, that want a fair flat tax, a fair medical support system, the elimination of troops in all countries, provided by the US, and have no interest in religious PAC’s or any others.
These people will be cast aside because they are nut’s. Why are they nuts? Because they are not spouting the same, tired rhetoric that we have been hypnotized into listening to. One only needs to go back and read Ross Perot or Ron Paul.
Nether one will ever be elected because they don’t make sense, according to what the American public has been trained to hear.
The American people, in order to continue to pretend, that we are the greatest country on earth, will, like lemmings, continue to jump off the cliff, rather than stand back and actually give the common sense approach to politics rather then the flash and bang of the current cast of characters.
Jut remember the following quote:
“The problem with political jokes is they get elected.”
Henry Cate VII
