A boy and his dog with nothing better to do... JTT & Fido.
That was a good movie... When it comes to a choice between your dog and a girl you can never go wrong picking your dog... Frederick the Great understood that... He was blessed with true understanding...
He came upon one of his cavelry men being tied to a wheel for punishment... Fred said: I know this man... For what is he punished??? For having sex with his horse came the reply... Don't beat him, said Fred... Transfer him to the infantry...
You know water; there is a reason they used to use horses for cavelry charges??? Donkeys would have nothing to do with it; and all you could get out of a mule was one charge, and that was enough to cure that animal of that sort of stupidity... Horses and men with their so called superior intellect, can be induced into almost any stupidity, IF the rational is there... Once more; what is your rational argument for the fair tax; and what makes you believe it is fair???...
There is nothing fair about the taxes we have today... They are means of robbing the poor to feed the rich... If there was a tax plan that was really rational it would admit that once the rich have all the money and power the game of society is lost... The object is not just the support of government, but the use of government to achieve justice which has nothing to do with hereditary wealth...
If a society will not die of its polarization because one half has been made slave, and the other half made irresponsibly rich, then society must tax the rich, not to feed the poor, but to keep the common wealth common... We all should have a share of this country's bounty... Those who want to do something with it, make a mountain of wealth, create some process or art of value, and that sort of thing -should have their money; but not forever...Society can only keep the game of society infinite, on going, if opportunity and social mobility are always there as possibilites...
The poor often resort to crime because they can see that in America it does not matter how one comes by money because money itself is considered honorable... Once a person is rich, no one ask how they came by their loot...Did they inherit it, did they win it, did they earn it fairly, was it profit, was it stolen or earned by some pervesrsion of social morality?? But government should make certain that all money is honorable by returning it to the people, to the common wealth where others can take it as their reward for some process, product or invention...
Money on the move makes a nation wealthy... Money in a banks only makes one person wealthy... The object of taxes is justice and to put pressure on money to serve a public purpose... To support hereditary wealth is no part of the purpose of government...And especially so when hereditary wealth so distorts the purpose of government...
