Taxes!

     Taxes! Liberation from England was inevitable, unfair treatment and over taxation the people wouldn’t stand for it. The irony is apparent the turmoil in today's America is similar unfair tax laws.

"The orthodox British view dating back from the Glorious Revolution of 1688 was that parliament was the supreme authority throughout the empire and so anything parliament did was constitutional imposing higher taxes as a result of the seven year war of 1763 and their devastated financial state”. Does this sound familiar

Our tax code has been tailored to benefit those financially privileged. The same scenario is playing itself out in our time. The people are over taxed over worked and under valued. The modern day sheriff of Nottingham is knocking at our proverbial doors and asking us for more and more to fill the couphers of the wealthy. Isn’t this the reason we liberated ourselves from England taxes.

Robber baron:  Widely used in the 19^th century to describe powerful business men who amassed their wealth by unethical and unsavory means. Some may say this describes the business man of today the modern day capitalist. Manipulating government for personal gain and profit.

Mortgage and rent due, fridge empty light bill overdue. These are some of the things you hear daily from the average American. The working class not on any kind of public assistance and in fact doesn’t qualify but they continue to fight on hope is weaning but they don’t give up. And the richest 1% is reaping what they sew benefiting from their hard work. The American dream is still alive in their eyes but they can’t achieve it because the richest 1% refuses to release the stranglehold on the economy.

Is it fair that the average american work 50-60 hours a week make 40,000 thousand dollars a year and pay twice as much in taxes as someone who makes 20 million a year? Is it fair that I can’t find a job because those same people send jobs overseas downsize companies to raise profits and abuse the tax code? Why do the American people have to suffer because of corporate greed?

They call themselves capitalist but the real capitalist strengthen their communities uplift their people and encourage growth not by tax manipulation and corporate downsizing. The true capitalist such as Henry Ford and Thomas Edison made many advances in our country but they didn’t move production to another country to cut cost. Bill Gates A capitalist shares a large part of his wealth as a philanthropist. That is the meaning of a capitalist not just taking from the people but returning to the people in the form of jobs, good paying jobs that enable the people to grow the economy.

Now I don’t believe you have to give your money away, but I do believe you have to be taxed at a relative rate per financial bracket as everyone else. Now groups such as citizens for America and people like Grover Norquist Believe differently. With the passing of the Super Pac law by the Supreme Court there is no limit on contributions or any restrictions on political attacks slander or head hunting. Now With investments of 300 million at a time and I say investment because a (ROI) is expected in the form of political favors you can typically buy a politician. The rules in politics have forever changed.  

What we have to realize is that everyday there are rules being changed and laws being passed by the leftist conservatives. Rules that will forever effect us and our children, and if we don’t pay attention to what’s going on and begin to fight together their will be less than scraps left for the future generations. Through education cooperation and community activism we can begin to affect a change. But we can only do it together….
