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.
