Subject: RE: BS: Republican fiscal policy..looney!
The Right's continual bla-bla about "cutting taxes" is illusory, in my opinion, because our economy is filled with hidden taxes of all kinds, built into the prices of the goods and services we buy, and accomplished through inflation of our currency, and massive debt creation that is engineered by lending institutions to tax the public through interest charges on lent money. They're playing a shell game.

It may appear on the surface that certain obvious taxes are being reduced by right wing legislation...because those are the visible taxes that people immediately understand...but at the same time more money is being leached out of people's pockets by the invisible hand of hidden taxes at a huge variety of levels.

This results in a national government and a populace who keep going deeper into public and private debt...while a rich and privately owned elite of bankers and big business people get richer all the time off the fraud they are perpetrating through their mantra of "cutting taxes" and "de-regulating" and "cutting red tape".

They are liars. And thieves. What they are doing leads to inevitable disaster in the form of:

1. dictatorship
2. war
3. bankruptcy of society
4. social and environmental collapse

and finally...

5. revolution

As for the so-called Left (in terms of the major political parties), I think they're doing the same thing...only they pretend not to be doing it...and they're not as enthusiastic about it or as proud of themselves for doing it as the Right is. This tends to give them a certain lack of conviction which can often cost them at election time, but they can at least comfort themselves with the thought that the Right is "worse" than they are! And it may well be. Still, they are both liars and thieves once in office.
