As of today, there are 81 days until the most consequential election in American history. This is what they say about many past elections, but this is really it. For if the Democrats seize power – control of the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate and the Presidency – and doing it by hook or by crook (the justifies the means, you know) America as we know it will be forever changed. America envisioned and created by the Founding Fathers will disappear into the shadows of history.
The ungodly secular-humanists/Marxists slow
march through America’s institutions over the last 100 years or so will have reached
a crescendo – fulfilling Mr. Obama’s fundamental transformation of America.
Never again will the demonic Democratic Party relinquish its grip on political
power and control of the masses.
Envision with me what a Socialist Democratic
Party, takeover, a bloodless coup, a regime change, would look like. This is
the first of a series of daily articles leading up to the 2020 General Election
scheduled for November 3, 2020.
The Only Sure Things in Life are Death and
Taxes
The communistic Democratic Party of 2020 have embraced
death and taxes. Abortion is their “holy” sacrament. Taxes is how they support
their spending addiction. Today we will
focus on taxes, previously we discussed abortion here and here. It seems that the solution to every
problem for the Democrats is more money. And what is the source of the money? More
taxation is the solution – property taxes, sales taxes, user taxes, income
taxes an even estate or death taxes.
Balanced Budget is Anathema to Democrats
To live within ones means is foolishness to
Democrats and an increasing number of Republicans as well. There have been
moves within Congress to legislate a balanced budget requirement. There is also
a move outside of government called the Convention of States, which calls for a
constitutional convention, which supposed has the prime purpose of mandating that
government adhere to a balanced budget. Making a balanced budget an amendment
to the U.S. Constitution would be a great idea, but all these efforts there is
no will in Congress or among the people to make this happen. The Democrats
would never support a balanced budget.
Riding on the Omnibus
In recent years both the Democrats and Republicans
in Congress have failed to do the necessary work to pass a federal budget as
well as the corresponding appropriation bills. They settle for deficit and debt
driving Omnibus Spending Bills which include many bloated and unnecessary expenditures
that could not be by Congress, but due to expediency they pass. Congress waits
to the last minute and must adopt humongous bills that include many wasteful expenditures.
The bottom line that the cowardly, lazy members
of Congress shirk their responsibility in creating and living by a budget. Families
could not operate this way for very long. The government has the power to
borrow and print money out of thin air. This practice will eventually catch up
and cause financial ruin.
The Fair Tax or Flat Tax
Two ideas that may work but would be vigorously
resisted by the Democrats and big government defenders are the Fair Tax and the
Flat Tax ideas.
According to the www.TheBalance.com description: “The Fair
Tax Plan is a sales tax proposal to replace the current U.S. income tax structure.
It abolishes all federal personal and corporate income taxes, and ends all
taxes on gifts, estates, capital gains, alternative minimums, Social Security,
Medicare, and self-employment.The plan replaces them with a federal retail
sales tax of 23% to be administered by state sales tax authorities.”
The same website states, “A
flat tax is an income tax system that applies the same tax rate to everyone
regardless of income. Most flat tax systems also allow exemptions for those
living below the poverty line, so each proposal for a flat tax must be
evaluated carefully to assess its true revenue-producing potential.”
The flat tax would be considered unfair because
the rich or the one percenters and corporations because they would be not
paying, ironically, their fair share. Ingenuity, hard work, investment, and risk
are not considered by the Democrats as worthwhile ideals that should be
supported and encourage for the overall benefit of society. Democrats consider that it is big government
which knows best. The Fair Tax Plan
would be opposed because Congress and its various agencies would have to work
within a set amount of money and make tough priority choices and limit the pay
to play schemes so prevalent today.
Conclusion
Isn’t it funny (obscene, really) that Democrats change the
language by calling taxes, “investments”?
Yes, they are investments all right, but investments in big, obtrusive government,
not an investment in helping the American people. Expect a huge increase in taxation
if the communistic Democratic Party wins the presidency and both houses of
Congress this fall. The have promises to keep and voters to keep on the Democratic plantation. The debt will raise, but with it the nation will fall.
