Americans Should Be Taxed Off!
By Jim Traficant
AMERICA
IS BANKRUPT. It’s so bad that the White House, with the support of Congress, is
attempting to “stimulate” the economy with new, borrowed debt. How dumb can
they be?
Naturally there will be some economic activity—but it’s
just artificial.Any real economist
knows you cannot grow wealth by accumulating debt, upon debt, upon debt. It is
mathematically incongruent with any formula for economic expansion. Economic growth that is genuine and real will
emanate from a solid expansion of private sector investment and profit. I am a capitalist. Profit is not a dirty
word. Truth is, in America
today, the seedbeds of economic expansion and growth do not exist. The
potential for genuine growth has slowly been depleted and destroyed by a
Communist, progressive income tax.
Yes, I said “Communist.” Taxation to support a massive central
government sounds familiar. Think on it, and you’ll slowly begin to focus on my
use of the word Communist. Karl Marx is the father of the progressive income
tax. Marx: The No. 1 Communist in history. Marx’s goal was to tax the rich and
use that money to distribute to the masses. The beginnings of the poor vs. the
rich, the have-nots against the haves. It
was the inception of the concept of redistribution of wealth. Today, some call it socialism. But what makes
it Communism is that the distributors of all this money happen to be the big,
central government that controls and operates all national activity.
Let us take a snapshot of America. The big central government
owns and operates our biggest auto manufacturer, controls and administers
retirement programs and, in a short time period, will control health and
medical programs. Whatever happened to
the United States of America?
The states are now background music in a government-run doctor’s office.
Some states send their hard-earned tax dollars to Washington, only to see it “distributed” to other states Washington deems needy.
That certainly sounds charitable. But
the problem is the need for money in those so-called needy states is due to the
failed policies of the big central government.
These include: open borders, illegal immigrants consuming health and
entitlement dollars, unnecessary foreign wars and a tax scheme that penalizes
achievement, kills saving and investment, rewards dependence, subsidizes
illegitimacy, obliterates exports and destroys families.
Am I being unfair? Not at all. Consider all the levies on America:
income taxes, death taxes, capital gains taxes, taxes on savings, service fees,
tolls, environmental taxes, fuel taxes. The
list goes on and on. And I’m not even addressing state and local taxes. It’s so
bad today that the big, fat central government even has surtaxes—taxes on
taxes. Beam me up! America doesn’t
need more taxes. Nor doesAmerica need more “stimulus” that is to be derived
from expanded debt, which is eclipsingmore than $12 trillion. Unbelievable.
Every American now owes close to $40,000 to pay off our national debt. And,
those unmentionables in Washington,
D.C., want another stimulus package?
America
needs one major critical action, an action long overdue. And, unless this
direction is implemented immediately, our society will ultimately weaken and
degenerate into civil uprisings.
This action is simple and logical: Repeal the Communist 16thAmendment.
Implement a flat, fair 25 percent consumption tax on all final retail sales.
Naysayers will give you reason after reason why this tax policy
will fail. They lie. It’s as simple as that.
My father once told me, “Jimmy, I never worked for a poor man.”
My father was right.We should not tax the rich unfairly for the sake of
redistributing their financial success. We should reward those who earn money.
These are the individuals who formAmerica’s foundation for jobs and private
sector “stimulus.” It’s called capitalism.
NEW TAX PLAN
In the future, I will detail my plan, brought forth along with two
fine former members of Congress by the names of Billy Tauzin and Dan Schaeffer,
both of whom happen to be
Republicans.We have one important fact in common—we are all
Americans. It will be hard to detail the entire tax plan in this commentary. I
shall give the basics for your general understanding. However, I will give a
thorough presentation of my tax plan at the National
Town Hall meeting Saturday, Feb. 13 in
Washington, D.C., hosted by AFP. Don’t miss this historic
First Town Hall promoted by anAmerican newspaper (AFP) that is not afraid to be
the leader in forming a third political party in these, still, United States.
