American political hypocrisy

America regularly trumpets two of the worlds greatest political absurdities:

TAX
Despite their strident promo, the Republicans, and American politicians generally, are not against tax. They are against the government redistributing the first tax - the employer tax. The employer tax is tax taken by the employer from the worker, either through long hours or low wages. This tax is eagerly courted by the Republicans.

The employer tax is the first tax. It is coercive and re-directive, from worker to employer. The second tax is the government tax. It is a social, distributive, tax. It redistributes the employer tax equitably, back into society. That is why American financial aristocracies and politicians hate "socialism" and why they promote "trickle-down" which is an economy built on the employer tax.

SOCIALISM
American patriotism is built on socialism - Lincoln's "and that government: of the people, by the people, for the people...".
Yet, patriots denounce "the people" and its government: social organisation of any sort is naively branded as a subversive communism or socialism. This branding comes from the iron of the American financial aristocracy who have always been against social organisation, and who have always provided their exploited labourers with a better rhetoric than their nemesis, Lincoln.

Americans are not conversant with their own, contradictory, beliefs, though their hypocrisies have not gone unnoticed among Europeans, Latins and the Asian bloc.
