the miseducation strikes deepest is the loss of awareness of commercial, capital, governmental, economic, and academe structures, long ago many schools civic learnings provided a fairly sophisticated understanding of these things. If a wealth tax were passed now with the structures we have then the money would most likely be in significant part taken by cynical interests and also used to further enhance those predatory structures. If the structures change to much better ones, then a more open and general-public-real politics would likely be do more with the state and local local levels and less with the Feds and so it wouldnt be wanted.

It's enough to pose the question: are the desperately and dangerously deranged who swallow this platitudinous pulchritude attempting to assassinate the wrong people?

The goose that laid the golden eggs is an Aesops fable that needs to be shared again.

Thank you again and again for your facts and reality.

There are many false prophets, antichrist spirits in this wicked world system, especially prominent in the USA mid-term elections season.

1 John 4:1

Dearly beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits if they be of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

1 John 2:18

Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that Antichrist cometh, even now there are become many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last hour.

Cynicism and acceptance of human weakness has kept me from madness. I will become a cheery Charlie when our elected representatives vote to accept no pay while the government is shut down and when they vote for term limits.

Why can Warren Buffett get by with paying less taxes than his secretary? It's because of our unnecessarily confusing and cumbersome tax code. More than half of Americans pay no taxes and, as expected, have no allegiance or feeling of involvement in it. A flat-tax could be gradually adopted and then everyone would share in the success of failure of our society.

Indeed! Yes a flat tax would go a long way.
