Can we ever break our addiction to government handouts and get our tax system back on track?

Question

Our Founding Fathers never intended our tax system to be a wealth redistrubution system that poliliticians could use to gain evil amounts of power.

Answer 1

Yeah we can, but it would hurt. The producers in the country would need to go on strike, stop producing wealth, and drop the parasites in the country on their back sides hard.

Once that effect settled in the country would be begging those who produce to get back to it and create jobs and trade for our country. They could dictate terms and demand that all of the garbage be cut off ... you know, like lawyers, tax accountants, endless government office monkeys, over paid union jerks who suck the life out of job producers and keep out those who want to do work for their money, the press, the entertainment industry and the idiot actors, even over paid CEOs and Wall Street pukes ... generally all of those who produce nothing and live off the work and investment of others. Now CEOs do perform an important roll and do produce, but conditions exist which do over pay them because they control huge amounts of money, that can be reset.   Activist Judges who think they can legislate should also be done away with and measures to remove them when they go there should be implemented, and states rights should be as intended in the constitution. The federal government should be trimmed to the point it was intended to be, and income taxes should be abolished in favor of a more equitable set of consumption taxes. Just taking someone's money because they have more and others have the votes to take it should be strictly illegal, just as  bank robbery and organized crime is illegal.

Do those things and some others I didn't think of and we could get things back on track. We need a whole reset, and people need to go through some pain, like Union workers on strike do (no, I don't hate Unions or Union workers, just corrupt forced hyper political mob type Unionization), to make an equitable deal for the future of this country to take off and do better for everyone involved.

Answer 2

Not by voting in McCain or Obama, no.

Ron Paul would be a diffferent story.

Answer 3

You are exactly right! The tax system was never designed to be used as a political tool that politicians could use.

I don't know if it would ever be possible to reverse the situation simply because we have gone down the road of dishonesty and shady politics for so long. But you know, everything begins with one step at a time. If enough people stood shoulder to shoulder with this issue and let the politicians know that this is a decisive voting issue with you, perhaps some of them might listen.

It's getting sickening how people don't want to work for anything, they just want everything given to them, Why would anyone work hard if everyone is getting the same in the end? Our nation would crumble if it werent for the Bill Gates of our Country!!

Answer 6

I agree with you.  The only chance we have is to keep electing Republicans, and eventually the system will be restored.
