^^^ the problem is cops, firefighters, teachers, engineers, many docs/lawyers fall into the category of those who pay more in taxes cause of other people getting loopholes/cheating.
close the loopholes and cut taxes for those who make under 250K. just like what we are trying to do. i don't see why republicans can't agree to do that.
Exactly my point! Let's drag the money changers down to the gallows pole. Plunkey did not bring us any silver nor any gold, let's not keep him from the gallows pole. I am going to breach that mansion he lives in and make it mine. Then I am going to tax the hell out of his American Express Gold Card, by throwing a crazy ass party at his house with a bunch of hot Puerto Rican girls just dying to meet you.
I should be exempt from paying taxes because I am a exotic-philanthropist, a member of the avant-garde, a charter member of the historical society, and a prolific philosopher, who thinks for other people. Plunk is a pretentious, uncouth philistine, who hoards his wealth, and exploits people like me, who made it possible for him to accrue wealth in the first place. I hope the government reenacts the Sedition Act of 1918 because his ass is going to the pen.
Here is my sacred plan. I hope you folks get this stuff because I am not going to be around here forever. Tax the robber barons at 90%. If they decide to get cute and go abroad with their finances, they automatically denounce their citizenship, and are classified as "traitors." Second, the upper middle class is exempt from paying any kind of taxes especially payroll tax.The government should give the upper middle class a "Special ID," so when they go to purchase commodities they do not get charged with a sales tax or excise tax. Moreover, they should be exempt from paying property, death, and dividend taxes because they are the "state."
The working class (the third estate) pays a 15% flat tax, that is it.. because they are needed to a degree, but they are not indispensable. The poor should be mandated to live in quasi-concentration camps, where they have to work for their room and board. Eliminate the "welfare state" completely, even TANF, that program is a joke. Pass a law, that higher education is compulsory, and fund the Department of Education with boat loads of cash. The State Department should be required to monitor "undocumented" illegals and any immigrant who is granted citizenship, in order to prevent "remittances" from occurring. All the money stays in this country.
Stop distributing Social Security checks. Social Security is the biggest fallacy in the history of the United States of America. There has never been a "trust fund," that has been set aside just for Social Security. When they take FICA out of our checks, that money goes to pay for some unneeded social program. The Treasury prints checks and disperses them, knowingly, they have to write interest bearing IOUs to the proverbial Social Security Administration (Helvering v. Davis). To cover the cost, the government raises our taxes, and forces the Federal Reserve to print more money, which devalues our currency----causing inflation.. Social Security focuses on "need" and is justified by taxes paid (Friedman). Stop printing checks!!
I have more but time has failed me...
More important, a host of unemployed citizens face the grim problem of existence, and an equally great number toil with little return. Only a foolish optimist can deny the dark realities of the moment.
Yet our distress comes from no failure of substance. We are stricken by no plague of locusts. Compared with the perils which our forefathers conquered because they believed and were not afraid, we have still much to be thankful for. Nature still offers her bounty and human efforts have multiplied it. Plenty is at our doorstep, but a generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply. Primarily this is because the rulers of the exchange of mankind’s goods have failed, through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence, have admitted their failure, and abdicated. Practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men.
True they have tried, but their efforts have been cast in the pattern of an outworn tradition. Faced by failure of credit they have proposed only the lending of more money. Stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have resorted to exhortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence. They know only the rules of a generation of self-seekers. They have no vision, and when there is no vision the people perish.
The money changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We may now restore that temple to the ancient truths. The measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit.
Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. The joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. These dark days will be worth all they cost us if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered unto but to minister to ourselves and to our fellow men.
