Re: To Do List
How about we take out the IRS all together. It was originally intended to be a temporary establishment. We need to as well need to get rid of the NSA. Jim Marss talks about this, and how the NSA is allowing for a under cover dictatorship in america. =)

Of course by this logic, you could be just one of those dancers making this all happen in accordance with that vision I think radical changes like the ones in your list will come about as a consequence of the way in which the world has the light of truth shining on it.

Seashore, I would place "End all US wars of aggression and cut the Pentagon's budget drastically" as Number One. And I would not call for a flat tax as that is regressive and would severely harm the already suffering poor and struggling "middle" class of the US while allowing the wealthy to get off easier. However I do agree with Numbers 1,2,4,5 and 6. |

Re: To Do List
1. Stop looking to the current political system to be a "savior" (this goes for both the folks on the left AND the right..no exceptions).
2. Stop worrying about taxes and other economic junk and worry about humanity in general. Instead of tea parties where you wear teabags like a douche, try tea parties with your neighbors who could use friends. 3. Stop giving power to authority figures, including TPTB by posting their fear agendas and buying into them. Ultimately, Avalon and Camelot are full of conflicting ideologies and there has to be a balance between the folks that hate taxes and the folks that don't give a **** about taxes. |

"I have always been a firm believer in getting rid of the income tax completely, and changing over to a flat sales tax in every state. For example, every state across the board would have a sales tax attached to every item or service sold. Some items like food and clothing would have a very low tax with say 1% going to the state and 1% going to the federal gov. General goods and services would have a higher tax with say 4% going to the state and another 3% going to the fed. Luxury items like cars and homes over a certain price, and other items would have a higher tax on them. This leaves a portion of taxes to the state for them to do with what they want, and a portion for the gov to do what they want. It also doesn't punish people for working hard and making a lot of money since they're not getting taxed on their wages. It does however 'punish' them for things that are excessive and not needed. This would also make it so that there would be no earmarking of federal funds that you and I pay to the government for projects in some other state that we care less about." _______________________________________________ What do you think? |

Re: To Do List
On my list:
Full disclosure of all ET contacts, recovered craft, and associated acquired technology and science. Some of the technology has military implications and so continued control will be necessary, but it is time to replace fossil fuels. A real inquiry into what happened on 9/11/2001 instead of the whitewash we got. Full transparency in government leading to the end of corruption (I can dream can't I?) Nuclear disarmament. That's just the short term list, the long term list includes things like: A complete change in the way we select leaders. Nobody "runs" for office. Only people who are highly qualified but don't really want the job will be considered. |

I don't believe taxes are "punishment" because without them how could a society expect to have basic communal necessities like schools, fire departments, etc.? Frankly, I'm tired of the squabbling about political minutiea because what we really need is a massive paradigm change which will result in a whole new way of organizing people and pooling resources in order to become a more fair and healthy community. I'm not sure I can even envision what our new society will look like after this transformation. Hoping for a positive outcome! |

Re: To Do List
*******
*** * Excellent list so far. To this, I suggest to add the following point: TAX THE PROPERTIES AND "INCOME" OF ALL RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS, WITHOUT EXCEPTION If we want LESS individual taxation (squeak-up if you want to keep paying more), then ALL those various religious holdings, Airlines, properties, lands, buildings, offices, "businesses," off-shore accounts, political "war-chests," and undeclared income of the religious groups = MUST pay a fair share. We are talking many BILLIONS in TAX revenue from all such religious groups. This MUST include ALL churches, temples, synagogs, meeting houses, mosques, tents, church-owned hospitals, EVERYTHING in all the absolute control of EVERY religious group which, by their contempt have been exempt. None can cry "discrimination," when ALL are included. * *** ******* Last edited by J_rod7; 05-22-2009 at 09:41 PM. Reason: add ideas |

Re: To Do List
What about putting "love and compassion" as the prime directive for everything in human affairs?
Then we wouldn´t have to do any wishlists anymore. Love would not tax it´s brothers and sisters to death. Love would not hide anything at all from it´s fellow people, be it ET contacts or the truth about 9-11 or anything at all. Love would never allow any nuclear weapons, or no wars at all for that matter. Love would not have a "secret police" for the overlords. There would be no overlords for that matter because every human is equal. Love would ...Well I think you get it now, you guys are not retarded or anything, haha. I´ll stop ranting |

I listened to the two Ron Paul interviews. I was confused because it seemed that the interviews ended with the idea on the table to abolish the income tax, not replace it with a "fair tax," which is a sales tax, but no discussion of how the government would raise revenue. I clicked on your second link, but it's too much for me to read at this point... Briefly, with no income tax, no sales tax, where will revenue come from? Please summarize in your own words... |

Re: To Do List
I thought it would be helpful to revise the list so that number one does not list three separate items. (I had been trying to prioritize three things as number one all at the same time, but I think instead, it confuses things...)
Also, I thought it would be helpful to re-organize tax ideas, and add some wording, for clarity. United States
