Don't you get it? Voting is pointless.

We are all being played. We are being led into fascism by our own government and people are still arguing over meaningless liberal-conservative tripe.
IT DOESN"T MATTER
Haven't you noticed that this supposedly liberal socialist president is doing exactly the same things that our christian somewhat conservative president did? We may as well be voting for Popeye and Betty Boop.
"Capital" Hill is a puppet show.
You are fighting in a burning building.
LET IT GO.
It isn't republican vs democrat, it's all of them and it makes little difference which side of the aisle they are on No one with the ability to effect change will be permitted to get their name on the ballot. That's why voting is pointless.
I don't think this can be done through the election process. The banks control the media and thus the election. Especially now since the restrictions on campaign spending have been removed from corporations. That means that the Federal Reserve can spend as much as it wants to ensure that one of their dummies gets to sit on the ventriloquist's knee.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” Thomas Jefferson
Stop bickering over meaningless party lines and attack the real problem.
The Federal Reserve and it's private police force, the IRS, are the cause of the current crisis and every boom and bust cycle since the civil war. I, for one, am not giving them another dime.
Did you know that there is no law that requires individuals to file or pay taxes on wages and salaries?
It's a fact.
Yet they can take anything they want and put you in jail where you are guilty untill proven innocent.
and you haven't broken a single law!!!
How can that be?
Not 1 cent of individual income tax goes to running the government or providing services
100% goes to the Fed . Interest on the loan.
It's all a con game and if enough of us are willing to stand up to these crooks we may be able to stop them although I have my doubts. It may already be too late.
People who are waiting for the upcoming elections are hoping to vote out those in office. Go ahead. It will change nothing and we will be that much closer to world government with the bankers running the show.
Rollerball. Fascism.
The merger of government and corporation.
I can hardly wait.

Now, when it comes to Taxes themselves? Taxes are not the fault of the Federal reserve. Also, taxes are not the real problem. The real problem (if I do say so myself) is the lack of taxes on the super rich. The current tax system, or at least the current vulgarities built into our contemporary tax system, had its origins with the Reagan administration, where taxes on the rich went from 90% to 50%. Now, could this have worked if they had simply created higher tax brackets atop this that went all the way to 90%? Certainly. But instead, they just seemingly cut it off at 50%. No matter how rich you were, you'd never have to pay 90% taxes again.
There are a few other Economic realities I am forgetting here, and if I recall, most of the (by now) clear mistakes had their origins in the Reagan administration. I think one of them was covered in an episode of Newsroom. What I DO know, is...

There are a few other Economic realities I am forgetting here, and if I recall, most of the (by now) clear mistakes had their origins in the Reagan administration. I think one of them was covered in an episode of Newsroom. What I DO know, is that during Reagan, corporations were able to scrap entire factories,businesses, wholesale ... in order to get a little more profit for the quarter. Now, what this meant was that the rich could keep on getting richer even while jobs where being lost by the thousands (such as in Detroit). The long term effects of these actions were never considered, primarily the economic stability of the lower/middle class communities that they were essentially destroying.
Anyways, I think the time for endless greed and limitless growth are over. There ARE limits to growth, after all. There are those much smarter than I that will know possible solutions for increasing the taxes on the super wealthy. Should there be a greater tax on any transaction higher than 5 million dollars, perhaps? Or should there instead be some sort of additional 'estate tax' on those whose net worth is higher than 20 million dollars?
I don't think we need to target the fledgling rich, per se, with a 90% tax as they are in the growth sector ... but those with 100+ million dollars, who no longer care how much things cost? I think they should at least see something equivalent to 70-80% taxes.
Current tax bracket, if I had to guess, cuts off at something like 500,000 dollars or so, at 50%.
Well, perhaps from 5 mil - 10 mil it should be 60%, from 11 mil to 30 mil it should be 70%, from 31 mil to 49 mil it should be 80%, and anyone over 50 million should have to pay 90%. That is one possible tax bracket, though how that translates into actual taxes I have no idea. (estate tax? income tax? transactional tax?) -> I mean, if there is someone with 50 million dollars and no income tax, what are they really supposed to pay? Would we then increase the estate tax on those whose net worth is higher than a certain value?
Possibly, if we attached taxes to net worth rather than income, we could make the excessively rich a temporary phenomenon, that gets ground back into the 'regular rich' or 'upper middle class' due to estate taxes or some such.
What has voting changed? What you fail to realize is that anyone with the desire and ability to truly lead this country would never make it to the ballot. The people who own this country don't want it changed.
Why would they?
5% of the population controls more of the nations wealth than the remaining 95%.
Do you think you really have a choice?
Elections are the illusion of freedom.
None are so enslaved as those who mistakenly believe they are free.
I had no say in the matter.
"Let me issue a country's currency and I care not who writes the laws" Mayor Rothschild
We need to print our own money instead of allowing a private corporation to bleed us dry. Our political system is corrupt to the core. Maybe if enough people stop paying we can effect some change but as long as people are fooled into thinking they are free and that elections matter we are destined for the fascist government we are plunging headlong into.
