A discussion for Democrats.
A nice, neat tidy, no name-calling and no finger-pointing thread for those who lurk and are intimidated by the evil neo-conns.
Let's face it, the guy's a clown with the business acumen of Alfred E. Newman. Hell, you may even hate the guy and everything he stands for. So, instead of getting spitting MAD, how about offering an alternative other than Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No?"
Would you like to have a system where the poor pay no FICA, are fully invested in Social Security AND, AND, AND, the government gives them a check every single month out of the pockets of the rich? One that doesn't privatize Social Security? One that keeps ALL the power firmly in Washington where it rightfully belongs as per FDR? How about a system where even the illegal immigrants who are so neccessary to our economy even pay their fair share of taxes? A system that forces even the drug dealers to participate? How about a system that prevents "evil" corporate America from cheating the IRS with the help of Republicans? A plan endorsed by Alan Greenspan? A plan fully rooted in reality, one that doesn't benefit the rich in any way, shape, or form? In fact a plan that "targets" the rich to pay more taxes than the poor?
If your answer to these questions is a resounding oh, hell YES, then you are for a consumption tax, specifically House Resolution number 25 (not to be confused with Love Potion #9). The details of the plan are just a click away at Fairtax.org.
Benefit one: The poor pay no withholding tax.
Benefit two: The poor are fully vested in Social Security and it is fully funded.
Benefit three: The poor get a check from the IRS each and every month, just for being good Americans.
Benefit four: No more fear of the IRS.
Benefit five: No more being forced to tell the government how much money you make.
Benefit six: More money for social programs.
Benefit seven: Sending less money to China because the cost of manufacturing goods in the United States goes down by over 25%.
Benefit eight: More manufacturing jobs for those too st-st-st-stoopid (but inherently "good") to do anything else.
Benefit nine: It forces Washington to spend only what it has, and if Washington feels it needs to increase taxes, it cannot use divide and conquer methods, but must convince and get "ALL" of us to go along with it.
Benefit ten: It takes the initiative away from Bush and gives you an actual idea other than "I hate Bush, conservatives, and especially CHRISTIANS," and instead replaces it with a victory that leads you to "feel" very good about yourself.
[The Shits and Giggles benefit: It also forces Canada, Mexico, and French and German tourists to pay more taxes to Uncle Sam]
So what do you think? Was haben Sie gedenken? [Meinen grossmutti would be ashamed at how bad my Pennsylvania Dutch is!
]
Can't we all just get along?
