The Bottom Line

The Fair Tax is back on the Table and this is probably perfect timing. It is tax season and it is time for outdoor activities. Talk radio is being pre-empted for baseball, so this is the perfect time to get things changed when no one is really paying attention. And this Fair Tax thing must be so great, because it is starting to get fed to us from all directions. That’s right, you know something is just too good to pass up, when it keeps getting thrust upon you. You know, this Fair Tax, makes sense in two ways. Clearly the American public spends more than they make, so taxing the outgo, rather than the income is just good business, but our government isn’t a business. Anytime a business is operating in the deficit that our government operates, it’s time for restructuring, downsizing, or bankruptcy. Oh, but our government just changed the bankruptcy laws, so that may not be an option. Back to the Fair Tax . . . Remember, I know about this definition of FAIR. FAIR is defined by the one presenting their agenda, and to agree with them is always the decision on the side of FAIR.
The Fair Tax and Social Security reform will resolve the gay marriage issue. There will be nothing to file together or separately and there will be nothing to collect when any of us are old. Problem solved!
And no politician had to risk losing an election. Besides, the executive branch can blame the judicial branch and the judicial branch can blame the legislative branch, and the legislative branch will put the responsibility back on the constituents, and maybe that is the way it should be. Why are we putting up with all this nonsense? But the bottom line is, everything for any of the mere mortal citizens and the gay marriage issue will ultimately be out of the “wringing hands” of every elected official. Since I am quite sure there is a difference between marriage ordained by G~d and the certificate of the state, legislation changes nothing. But it sure gets everybody in an uproar. And that really seems to be the mission our government is accomplishing! Can’t they just do it a little cheaper? Back to tax . . . What are we going to do with unemployed IRS auditors and agents? What will happen to H&R Block Stock? I’m not tongue in cheek, here, managing taxes are a big part of the American economy, what will be the impact and results? And when it gets down to the bottom line. The experts pushing for this Fair Tax, say prices will go down 20%-30%, due to eliminating “hidden taxes.” If they never told us about these “hidden taxes” until now, what has determined we can trust them now? When the majority of Americans are in the 28% tax bracket and are having difficulty affording Americana. And our government is sinking lower and lower in what they now call “shortfalls,” collecting 28% of our income. How will 23% sales tax really cover the high maintenance government we must now support? So what is the bottom line? Are the powers that be, banking on us to spend more than we make, or is 23% just very, very temporary?
