It is obvious to anyone that is even slightly aware that something is very wrong with Washington. Here we are, entering what appears to be a depression, (which is nothing more than a prolonged recession) and you have the Republican leadership proposing a new tax system. On the other hand, you have the Democrats that just told us that they had all of these great plans under President Obama to take America to a new height of glory. Well, I'm glad these political parties are working out for us. Of course, Americans have nobody to blame but themselves.
Don't Worry, Herman Cain Will Save Us
One of the reasons that I say this, is because the Democrats and the Republicans are constantly making promises that they can't keep and the American people keep believing them. A good example of this right now is the Republican tax code that Herman Cain is promoting. He is telling the American people that we will get rid of one group of taxes and replace it with another. Now, I don't know if you remember correctly, but the Republican Party said they were going to get rid of Obama care and now that they are in office they are conveniently ignoring that promise. I see and hear nothing in the newspapers or any trade journals that would suggest that the Republican Party is still on track to get rid of and repeal Obama care. Well, it will be the same thing with this new 999 tax plan that Cain is suggesting. What the Republicans will do is create new taxes while not getting rid of the previous ones that they mentioned. Just like Obama care, they will conveniently ignore the fact that they promised to get rid of the other taxes first. As you know, Obama care has created more taxes for the American people while delivering less. Any time a government tells the American people that they are going to be able to revitalize the nation by implementing programs, I would say that is a complete falsehood. It doesn't matter if it is the Democrats or the Republicans.
A Scary Addiction
Michele Bachmann, who was a congresswoman running for president is also a tax lawyer and she was absolutely correct when she said that we will never get rid of those taxes. If anything, Congress is addicted (a term that I believe she used, and she is correct) to sucking up revenue generated by taxes. She even cited a tax from the Mexican-American war that we still pay, because once you implement a tax, you will never, ever get rid of it. Now, I teach political science in a private school, and every year I have told my students the exact same thing. Never allow a politician to talk you into a new tax, because you will never get rid of it. And, while we're at it, those taxes will go up every year. So, considering all of this I felt that it was important that I write this blog and produce my thoughts on these matters.
What's My Slant?
I am not politically motivated by any particular party, and there are different people in both parties that I can agree with and disagree with. In my opinion, most politicians that America has today are very ineffective, self-serving and are hell-bent on seeing a republic dissolved and be replaced by something bigger. I think it is important that the American people know what they are up against and that is a two-party system that is really a one-party system designed to placate Americans and make them think that they have a choice when in reality they do not.
Why I am Writing This Blog
During the course of my writing this blog, I hope to point out obvious examples of the fact that our Federal Republic is being destroyed by the very two parties that claim to be supporting it. America is being destroyed by design and it is not by accident. I will be reporting on this information as I go through my weekly blog posts and I will also be directing you to information that comes straight from the horse's mouth in Washington. If you can't look at the evidence and see that our own government is constantly working against us, then there really isn't any hope for America and we are truly a doomed republic.
