Uncle Sam, the thief, taking citizens for a ride!!!
"I'm for a flat tax -- as long as the flat rate is zero.
The object is to get rid of big government,
not find a new way of financing it." Harry Browne

Hillary’s smiling face has looked up from the desk for two weeks.

We wanted to read her book, if only to mock and jeer, but we couldn’t bring ourselves to open it. It was too big. Too earnest. Too carefully put together. There would be no surprises.

Like Hillary’s photo on the cover, every detail had been checked by pollsters and approved image consultants. No facts that didn’t support the uplift of the narrative were allowed. No ideas that don’t appeal to the majority voter were permitted.

Hillary is made appear tough, but fair… well-informed… hard working… with a razor-sharp intellect and a heart like road kill on a hot, sunny day: warm, soft and overpowering.

Hard Choices

Finally, we had to do our duty, on your behalf, dear reader. We opened the book so you don’t have to. The book, called Hard Choices, is hard to pick up. And easy to put down.

Not because you will disagree with its ideas; there are no ideas to disagree with. Instead, the book is full of self-serving and empty blah blah. It wallows in the glory of the US Empire… and of course, the incredible, gracious tenacity of Hillary Rodham Clinton.

All you have to do is to look at the photos. There you find Hillary shaking hands with every corrupt, incompetent leader the world has to offer… as well as demonstrating all the qualities the dim voter may look for.

In one she is compassionate towards children. In another she is an activist for women. She is a fun-loving secretary of State, too. There’s a photo of her at the piano with Bono. Another of her dancing at a party in Cartagena, Colombia. And there’s Joe Biden whispering in the ear of a giggling Hillary.

What a gal!

The premise of the book is that leaders have to make tough decisions. Her first was her decision to leave a promising career as a Washington lawyer to go to Little Rock and help Bill with his political career.

On the evidence, this paid off. Bill hit it big in politics. Hillary became his partner – like Evita to Juan Perón. Or Christina to Néstor Kirchner. Now, Hillary is in line to be the first woman president.

The remainder ...

FROM Project to RESTORE AMERICA

The FairTax is a consumption tax unilaterally applied to all Americans at the same rate. For businesses, payroll taxes would no longer exist. Our exports would include a heavy tax for overseas buyers purchasing our products, while our imports would be cheaper for us to purchase. I'm not sure how this would affect GDP, as more information is necessary.

According to the FairTax website, "Under the FairTax, every person living in the United States pays a sales tax on purchases of new goods and services, excluding necessities due to the prebate." The prebate gives every legal resident household an "advance refund" at the beginning of each month so that purchases made up to the poverty level are tax-free.

So a family of four making something like $50,000/year should not have to pay taxes, thus preventing an unfair burden on low-income families. Since the FairTax eliminates both federal and payroll taxes, you get to keep your gross pay amount of each paycheck earned.
