Government Takeover: They Want Your Money

Guest post by: Michael Hume

Article Overview: Here's another way to look at it: it's not that they necessarily want the government to have your money; it's more that they don't want YOU to have it. They want you to feel miserable and needy, and ready to vote for any candidate and proposal that promises to "take care" of you. They need you to be unemployed, depending on the government for welfare and food stamps. They need you to be a victim.

Government Takeover: They Want Your Money

The Liberals' Agenda Depends On High Tax Rates The politicians in Washington can always find something to fight about. As I predicted a couple months ago, their favorite battleground during this "lame duck" session of the outgoing liberal Congress is the possible extension of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts. And, as I also predicted, the liberals are digging in their heels in refusing to give any tax breaks to "the rich." They'll extend tax breaks for the middle class, but not for anyone they consider "wealthy." Why? They want your money. You're not wealthy, you say? You make less than $250,000 per year? It doesn't matter... if ALL of the tax breaks aren't extended (or made permanent), you will still suffer from the liberals' destructive tax-and-spend agenda. Let me clarify the liberals' intentions. It's not that they want money. They don't, generally. They can borrow, print, or electronically "create" as much money as they want. That's what the whole "quantitative easing" thing has been about. No, they don't just want any money. They want YOUR money. Here's another way to look at it: it's not that they necessarily want the government to have your money; it's more that they don't want YOU to have it. They want you to feel miserable and needy, and ready to vote for any candidate and proposal that promises to "take care" of you. They need you to be unemployed, depending on the government for welfare and food stamps. They need you to be a victim. And that's why they insist upon milking as much money as they can from the "wealthy," also known as the small business owners and entrepreneurs who could possibly create jobs and give people a chance to realize true opportunities. They'll extend the "middle class" tax cuts because that will disguise their true intentions, and make you like them, and (they hope) make you vote for them. But they'll soak the rich. Eventually the misery will trickle down to you... and if you don't believe that, well, enjoy the holidays while you can. If the government really wanted to bring tons of revenue into the federal coffers, they'd slash the income tax to a low rate of about 12 percent for everyone. Yes, even the rich. The downside of this would be that thousands of IRS agents, tax accountants, tax attorneys, and corporate consultants would be out of work. However, we would probably shed fewer tears for those folks as they begin to pick up great jobs advising real companies on how to do real business. With a flat 12 percent income tax, the U.S. would see a flood of investment money pouring into the country. Businesses would start and grow, people would get back to work, and literally millions of new taxpayers would join the rolls. The federal government would suddenly be awash with money they didn't have to print or create out of thin air. But they don't want to do that. See, they don't really want higher tax revenue. They want higher tax RATES. The difference is that, with higher revenue comes higher economic freedom and lower control of the citizenry by the nanny state; with higher rates comes higher control, and greater and more widespread victimhood. The fact that this Keynesian economic model has never worked, and has always led to totalitarian regimes and general evil, does not deter today's liberal leaders. They either think they can do what's been done before and get a different result (the definition of insanity), or, bless their hearts, they're too foolish to have learned anything from the collectivist adventures in the world's recent history. This is what's coming. Do what you can to eject yourself from this system now, before it crashes. Get out from under dependence on anyone by creating your own income - you can start a business with greater ease now than at any other time in history. Get healthy enough to endure the hardships on the horizon. And get smart about the global economy. The more you learn, the more prepared you can be. Don't be scared. Be ready.

Re: Can someone explain Search engine optimization to me? - Hi, Ask yourself, "What is the goal of a search engine like Google?" A search engine's goal is to provide the most related (or best) web page results when someone searches. Do you think people are searching for "Auction Cars Government" or "Government Car Auction." In fact type those keywords into Google with the quotation marks. You will find that Google gives different results for each keyword phrases. Granted you get many of the web pages ranking the same but there is a difference. My answer is, use "Government Car Auction" or even "Government Seized Car Auction" because that is what people are searching for. That is how the majority of the indexed pages use. That is what makes sense when you read the phrase. Jeff
Research & Development Tax Credits - If anyone is involved in any sort of R&D I have a contact that can submit an application for you to the Government of Canada to get back upto 80% of expenses you may have incurred.

Re: Obama Wants Social Security for Illegals - [quote="Alan Mater":1q4mpk8g][quote:1q4mpk8g] This is what happens when the Government gets involved and puts its nose where it shouldn't. Let the market correct itself. There is no reason for the Government to bail everyone out. If the businesses, mainly banks, weren't corrupted with greed, this wouldn't have happened. They are and it did, so let them dwindle away and pay for their mistakes. That's what any small business has to do. Why should they be any different. They have gotten away with it for over 10 years! Surely they should have seen this coming. [/quote:1q4mpk8g][/quote:1q4mpk8g] The same thing happened in the early 30's that's why the law to prevent these practices was put in place. But, during the Clinton administration people decided that eliminating that law would boost the economy - once again, that didn't work. Kind of reminds you of the saying that people who don't consider history are bound to repeat it. Chris
Re: Which would you start: a Blog or Online Community? - It is a difficult decision to make. Lets start it this way - What are you more interested in? Money? or Friends? or Both? If its purely Money, then Blog might be an appropriate answer. But consider this - It will be people (visitors) that will bring traffic to your blog and then Money will follow. This will be possible after a time and during this time it will be your friends who will be the starters. If you are looking for friends only, then its true that not many will be interested in knowing how you have beaten them in the game or the other way round. So it will be preferable to have a Forum where they can share ideas with you and others. But you can share your insider knowledge with them and invite comments from your Blog. You can also put up information on what others (including your friends) don't know about Tennis. The blog you create can provide News, Inside Information and also Techniques that can be used by the new entrants in the world of Tennis.
