A Bitter April 15th
Tuesday, April 15, 2008 Flat Tax Why wont this stupid government pass a flat tax and be done with it? Let me pay what I owe once. Don't tax me every time I touch my own bloody money. Nothing angers me more than when I have to pay a second tax and third tax, after an income tax, on money I had in savings. Why is this okay? Why is this even permissible? I don't expect much in the way of the electorate demanding simplicity, but couldn't a brave, and hopefully intelligent, politician see the way? Couldn't one of these elected geniuses offer some kind of two-track tax plan? There should be one for tax payers who love paperwork, and a one-time, once per year tax only on income. And that's it!! Why must there be thousands of pages just to pay taxes? Is the purpose of these byzantine tax laws to ensure a domestic works program for financial planners, accountants, lawyers and their ilk? A flat tax would certainly reduce the demand for these "professionals." A better course of action would be to pass the flat tax, then have all these accountants auditing government spending on entitlements, domestic programs and defense. Bitterness Forget about the opiate of the masses, excessive taxation is legalized slavery. If the government has its citizens in debt to pay taxes, there is no moral difference. It is indentured servitude. Just what do my taxes pay for? Here's an example: a "stimulus" check, where the same money we sent, is returned to the taxpayers. How about not confiscating so much in the first place? If you want to talk about a bitter citizen, then I am your woman. I haven't embraced guns yet, but I'm almost there. 'Cause right now all there is to cling to is God. Labels: bitter, debt, flat tax, IRS, taxes, US posted by GoldenAh

I believe Global Cooling exists. I don't believe Global Climate Change is effected by humans. A short span of two hundred or less years of industrialization cannot have such a consequential effect on the Earth's climate. How come the Sun, the Universe's fireplace that keeps us alive, is being ignored in this theory? What happened to the hysteria over Global Cooling of the 1970's? There were wacky ideas back then to solve the problem of Global Cooling: cover the North / South poles with black to attract the sun and help them melt. What happened to the worry over greenhouse gases and deforestation of the Brazilian rain forest? Do museums and science books still show what life was like on this planet for the past five billion years? There were plenty of warm and cold periods. Those warm and cold spells lasted tens of thousands of years. Yet, media organizations (New York Times, BBC, etc.) suggest we can personally witness and measure climate trends in a couple of years in what ordinarily takes thousands. I have always believed that politicians were looking to tax people for breathing oxygen. Politicians believe that the monies people earn or have are for them to confiscate by any means and method. Environmentalists and their ilk are a close second with this arrogant belief. Politicians have come up with an even better idea: tax people for CO2. This chatter about carbon trading and reducing carbon emissions will have only one affect: the price of energy will rise exponentially. After these schemes are implemented be assured of one thing: the Global Climate Change fever will be cooled and "cured" to be replaced by another "crisis" that so-called rich countries must pay for. Regarding the UN Bali meeting, the International Herald Tribune, December 2007 says:
Wow, funny how this Global Climate Change thing is turning into a world tax on "rich" countries. Guess which country is blamed the most for Global Warming? Guess which country is always seen as not contributing its fair share to aid by the UN? Long before Climate Change hysteria made its debut, the UN wanted to levy a tax on all wealthy countries. How convenient that a tax (on rich nations) and Global Warming mesh together so nicely. Isn't the Inconvenient Truth actually a Convenient Lie? Newspapers can certainly show their honest commitment to Global Climate: cease publishing on paper and go online, devote every story to Climate Change, don't encourage illegal immigration or open borders (more people equals more energy used equals more carbon emissions), and endorse politicians who want a carbon tax. There are so many methods they can suggest to help shut down the US economy and reduce our standard of living. The possibilities for additional taxation are endless: further raise taxes on gasoline, tax people based on the size of their homes, tax people based on the price of their cars, tax people based on how often they fly, and a flat tax on everyone for CO2 emissions. Oh wait, what am I saying? Americans are already taxed in every way imaginable. I really hope the environmental extremists have their way. I'd like to see what happens to the politicians who want to follow this carbon trading / taxation policy. Labels: Climate Change, Global Warming, taxes, UN, US posted by GoldenAh
