    History lesson you can skip if you wish:


    In Medieval times the authority of the king to tax was based on the idea that he owned the entire nation. After the British Civil War and the execution of Charles II, Parliament needed to justify taking over the taxing authority, so they arrived at the doctrine that taxation was permitted as long as there was representation. So when Parliament later decided to tax the American Colonies to pay for their defense, the cowardly decision not to allow American representation in Parliament would lead to eventual American independence.


    Of course, since then we’ve learned that taxation can still be tyranny even with representation. Class dismissed.

    Thus, it came to pass that Sir Ronald of Reagan declared that cutting taxes would put more money in the coffers. And after 30 years of the policy not working his successors want to lower taxes more, to fix the deficit caused by 30 years of low taxes.

    Ronald Reagan and his band of thieves did just what he promised: “No NEW taxes.” But in order to pay for the star wars defense plan he stopped nearly all federal funding to the local level there by keeping nearly 100% of all tax revenue to pay for the biggest peace-time military build up in history. He didn’t raise taxes but every state and local governments were forced to triple and even quadruple taxes to make up for the funding of the cold war war machine. Then it was Bush Sr’s job to make sure to use that military to continue the flow of money to defense contractors. Clinton managed to stop the war, balanced the federal budget and actually reduced the deficit. Bush 2.0 came along cut taxes to the ultra rich, started three wars and then cut taxes again and removed key banking regulations that led to latest recession. His administration double the deficit in less then 6 years and allowed wall street to nearly destroy the entire global economy. But this is the fault of a single liberal president that has to deal with a bunch of arrogant conservatives that are determined to stop everything unless they get their way. Sounds pretty childish to me, well actually it’s just the typical school yard bully mentality on much larger scale.

    Are frogging hopping mad yet? Good.
    “What a democrat can’t spend, a republican will steal for himself.” I hope both parties are outlawed by who ever forecloses on the national debt, then just maybe our country and the rest of planet can accomplish something worthwhile for a change!

    Trying looking at who started the S&L scandal, Reagan’s son. Then look at the housing fiasco. Notice anything in common? Write loans knowing full well they are going to fail. Who got stuck with the bill? You, me, and the rest of the tax payers around the world. Now all of the profit from that scam got invested in the stock market to scoop up major stocks for penny on the dollar, in order to increase their portfolio exponentially. When will these greedy people decide they have enough? Must be nice to play the stock market with tax payer funded capital.
