Our current tax code is outdated and needs reform. This has not occurred because Progressives in both the Republican and Democratic Parties love the concept of manipulation. Our code is called the Progressive Tax Code for a reason. It was designed by the Progressive Movement and implemented by Radical Totalitarian Progressive Woodrow Wilson.
The Wilsonian Legacy has harmed America in many ways. Our foreign policy is based on the naive notion of spreading Democracy, not using American power to pursue our National interests. The concept of the government manipulating economic behavior through the tax code is another legacy which has done much to reduce Americans’ economic freedom. But, that is the goal of the Progressive tax code!
Congratulations! This is your last week working for the man — at least for this year. The Tax Foundation calculates that Tax Freedom Day for 2010 is April 9, which means that by Friday, Americans will have spent nearly 100 days working just to pay their taxes. If Democrats have their way, Tax Freedom Day will keep getting later and later.
Hold that thought. Imagine for a moment that Tax Freedom Day was Dec. 31. In other words, picture working 365 days a year for the government. Now, the government would “give” you a place to sleep, food to eat and clothes to wear, but all your income would really be Washington’s income to allocate as it saw fit. Some romantics might call this sort of arrangement “socialism” or “communism.” But another perfectly good word for it is “slavery” or, if you prefer, involuntary servitude.
Read the rest: How much taxation is enough?
Jonah Goldberg nails it in his column. The amount of taxes dictates the amount of control the governmnet has over the individual. The more in taxes, the more control the elites have. That was one of the goals of Obamacare (the other being Eugenics), to redistribute wealth as the government seems fit. What is needed to alleviate this is not tax cuts, but a total tax overhaul and a new code that promotes investments and entrepreneurship. This is a Neo-Feudalist means to control on the part of the Progressives and Americans are not having it. Our nation is a rejection of Feudalism and as we have rejected it in the past, the future will be no different!
Update: The Regime of Barack Hussein Obama has suffered a blow in its attempt to control the Internet.
