Time to Limit Government's Take of Our Incomes

Posted by Doug Bandow on 02/27/10

Six of ten Americans want to limit government's take of their incomes to half. That's way too much, but at least it's a start.

According to Rassmussen Reports:

Most Americans favor a law that would limit the amount of taxes paid to state, local and federal governments so that no one would pay more than 50% of their total income in taxes.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 61% of adults nationwide favor such a limit. Nineteen percent (19%) are opposed, and another 19% are not sure.

A majority of all age groups under 65 favor a 50% tax ceiling. Among senior citizens, 41% favor that limit, 20% are opposed, and 39% are not sure.

Any limit would be better than nothing. Now it's just the interest groups against the taxpayers, attempting to mulct as much of our incomes as possible. Cap the looters' take, and then they have to start fighting each other.

Moreover, most Americans oppose new taxes because they realize that any new revenue is far more likely to be wasted on new special interest programs than in cutting the deficit. Another Rasmussen poll is illuminating:

Will America Break Up?

Posted by Orville Brettman on 03/26/10

By Jeffrey T. Kuhner

President Obama is splintering America. The passage of Obamacare was a historic victory for liberal governance. Yet, its true cost may be that it triggers the eventual breakup of the country.

Mr. Obama has achieved what his liberal predecessors - Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon B. Johnson, Bill Clinton - could only dream of: nationalized health care. Obamacare signifies the government take-over of one-sixth of the U.S. economy. It has dealt a mortal blow to traditional America. We are now a European-style socialist welfare state. The inevitable permanent tax hikes, massive public bureaucracy and liberal ruling elites will stifle competition and initiative.

Excerpt:

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not," warned Thomas Jefferson.

Jefferson was right: Redistributionist welfare policies are undermining our democracy. The resentments in America are growing. Tea Partiers believe that their government no longer represents their interests or values. The heartland is becoming dangerously alienated from the political class, whom it feels has betrayed them.

Obamacare may be the last straw. It strips away fundamental economic liberties, empowering the federal government to de facto nationalize everyone's body by controlling our health. Americans are compelled - upon pain of penalty and eventual imprisonment - to purchase insurance.

Russian Scholar Says U.S. Will Collapse Next Year

POSTED by: Antaletriangle 3/5/2009

MOSCOW — If you're inclined to believe Igor Panarin, and the Kremlin wouldn't mind if you did, then President Barack Obama will order martial law this year, (Obama Care??? back door martial law as I see it.),the U.S. will split into six rump-states before 2011, and Russia and China will become the backbones of a new world order.

Panarin might be easy to ignore but for the fact that he is a dean at the Foreign Ministry's school for future diplomats and a regular on Russia's state-guided TV channels. And his predictions fit into the anti-American story line of the Kremlin leadership.

"There is a high probability that the collapse of the United States will occur by 2010," Panarin told dozens of students, professors and diplomats Tuesday at the Diplomatic Academy — a lecture the ministry pointedly invited The Associated Press and other foreign media to attend.
