6 December 2012 GOP/TEAVANGELIST model No reverse gear, no brakes





Cassi Creek:         The monetary affairs of the United States of America are being held hostage by the inactions of a group of ideological morons who have deluded their selves into believing that a modern nation can exist without taxing its wealthiest citizens.  The annual earnings of the upper 2% of U.S. citizens can, and does easily eclipse the GNP of many third world nations. This sub-population has bought sufficient legislators to exempt them from taxation, by means of loopholes, deductions, and other manipulations of our tax codes and laws. 
          They have managed to convince a large segment of the former working and middle classes that raising the tax rate for these plutocrats will further diminish the job pool in the U.S.  They haul out this threat of deeper unemployment whenever there is any attempt to restructure our tax codes so that the very wealthy are required to pay a more appropriate amount of taxes so that they help to pay for the benefits of civilization that they use in their daily financial and other affairs, but prefer to avoid contributing for. 
          The drive to avoid paying a fair share of taxes under a progressive tax code has reached the level of fanaticism normally found in religious demagoguery.  In fact, there is a religious component to this tax avoidance.  Many of the ultra-wealthy have enlisted the evangelical churches to help in establishing their justification to banking exorbitant salaries and compensation packages.  Tying evangelism in with financial gain allows a lot of room to justify the practice of scamming the tax system by claiming that their financial gains are religious in origin and, therefore, should not be subject to taxation. 
          Quite frankly, I’d begin that part of tax code reformation by eliminating exemptions for church properties, and other sources of revenue claimed to be religion-oriented, and thus exempt... 
          The current financial problem, the “fiscal cliff” is entirely of GOP/teavangelist construction.  They are willing to destroy the national and world economy by refusing to compromise with other legislators and the White House in order to raise the tax rates on the upper 2%.  There can be found, at some points, the beginning of some disagreement between the GOP regulars and the teavangelists as to which group will be the dominant factor in any future Republican Party.  They see the precipice ahead of them, realize that it will harm them, perhaps irreparably, but have no plan to avoid being carried over the edge in the mob and no plan of action once they find their selves at the bottom of the pile.  They know that they will be blamed for most of the damage but they are so tied to the theocracy and plutocracy of the last four years that they are incapable of acting in the best interest of the nation.  They deserve the pain and suffering that they will feel.  Unfortunately, the majority of the citizenry do not.
