Our pathetic (government-run) public school system and border controls have produced a voting majority that is flat-out ignorant when it comes to economics.  So ignorant that they vote for politicians who make irresponsible promises and self-serving laws that punish Americans who want to make lives for themselves.

Responsibility for one’s own actions is no longer an American trait.

Because it will require that a majority of Americans understand basic economic principles in order to put our country back on track, I have lost the desire to continue posting here.  I hope I am wrong, but all signs point to the end of the road for America.  Sadly, the country’s problems boil down to, in layman’s terms, not knowing how to use a credit card responsibly.  The only solution I see is passing of term limits, a balanced budget amendment, and the FairTax.  It’s as ‘simple’ as that.

Lord help us all.

But look around the world, and you’ll see that oppression of the freedom of speech is still very much alive.

Without our dedicated armed forces and the sacrifices they make to protect our freedoms, history teaches us those freedoms would undoubtedly be lost.

Just a couple of years ago in 2008, the U.S. government agreed to insure as much as $139 billion in debt for lending arm G.E. Capital Corp… because it ‘needed’ a government bailout (i.e., YOUR tax dollars).

Small business owners just might find this to be a tough pill to swallow, considering most of them fork over AT LEAST ONE THIRD OF THEIR EARNINGS to the U.S. government.

This is yet another blunt example of why a responsible overhaul of government is necessary to help turn our country around…  namely, implementation of the FairTax.

If you were the person put in charge of figuring out the very best way to collect taxes in order to grow the economy, jobs, and equality among all citizens… what strategy would you take?  Would you search out hundreds of the most revered experts in economics?  People who have spent their careers studying the pros and cons of  different economies throughout the world and the effects that taxation has had on their growth?  Or would you proclaim to know it all and make decisions without their input?  Congress as a whole chooses the latter, because it gives THEM and their beneficiaries (lobbyists) enormous perks.  Check out the credentials of those who endorse the FairTax in this open letter to the President, Congress, and the American people.

If you haven’t read up on the FairTax, do.  Understand this, it is NON PARTISAN.  Democrat, Republican, Republocrat, Libertarican, WHATEVER!  Be weary of the politicians, lobbyists, government-linked corporations, and any other entities with hands in the government trough, when it comes to collection of your tax dollars.  Their self-serving goals depend on you being content to keep do what you are doing.  So just hand over one third, bend over, and take it.

Unless you want to demonstrate that those who earn, know what’s best.

Here  are just four things that the FairTax does, the benefits by no means stop here:

1. It reimburses, in advance, taxes paid up to the U.S. Census-determined poverty level for every CITIZEN of the United States.  So no one pays taxes up to the poverty level.  (Notice, there is no mention of illegal immigrants; they do NOT qualify for this prebate.)

2. Illegal aliens, drug dealers, tax evaders, and bailout recipients… they ALL pay their fair share in taxes… along with all consumers within our borders.  Keep in mind, the FairTax does not remove any government programs (other than the I.R.S.).  The FairTax is simply a new method for collecting tax dollars.

3. The FairTax is a consumption tax.  It replaces the punitive, shady, 50K plus pages of rules and loopholes concerning income taxes, with a simplified tax on consumer goods and services.  You keep EVERYTHING you earn.  Nothing comes out of your check.  You get it all.  And you can invest and save, TAX FREE.

4. Since consumers ultimately pay all business taxes, it makes no sense for businesses to pay taxes to begin with.  And they don’t under the FairTax.  Suddenly, the United States is THE VERY BEST DESTINATION FOR DOING BUSINESS, AND HEADQUARTERING CORPORATIONS, IN THE WORLD. (Read J O B S !) And, since an estimated $11 trillion is currently invested offshore simply to avoid income taxes, most of this money, under the FairTax, will be repatriated.

The choice is yours… Either bend over and let our government and their select beneficiaries run all over you.  Or stand up for your rights.  Keep in mind, it’s your money.  YOU earned it.

Cicero, 55 BC.

We’re producing less… Unfortunately…high gas prices … tends to increase unemployment, because companies can’t afford to stay in business…
It’s really a disgrace that the world’s largest economy (that of the U.S.) hasn’t figured out over these last years that we would resume demand and need more oil.”

John Hofmeister, an ex-president of Shell Oil

Our nationally elected “leaders” have fully demonstrated their ineptitude.  Our kids and grandkids will pay the price for this pathetic leadership.  It seems that no one in the Executive or Legislative branch has the courage, willingness, or ability to pull together a consensus to stop this madness and make tough decisions, because they all want to be re-elected.

VOTERS HAD BEST WAKE-UP AND DEMAND TERM LIMITS!

…he has adopted an apologetic tone rather than demonstrating faith in America as a shining city upon a hill, a beacon of freedom and liberty.

A leader who lacks pride in his own nation’s historic role as a great liberator simply cannot project strength abroad.“
