The income tax is confiscation of assets. It's taken out of your paycheck before you even see it. So what would you call that if not confiscation?By the same authority which enables them to collect the existing income tax.By what authority could the IRS claim such a right?
The need to impose such radical controls are comparable to the need to conduct the War On Drugs, the objective being control of the addiction to money (greed), which is destroying this Nation.
If government has the authority to prohibit the use of drugs it has the authority to prohibit the accumulation of excess wealth.
Collecting an income tax and confiscation of property and assets are not even in the same ballpark.
The confiscation would affect personal assets. Not corporate or business assets which are a separate category.Take for one small example, ballparks. Pick your sport I don't think any franchise is worth less than $20 million. (an arbitrary number if there ever was one) How is a $20 million dollar "owner" supposed to pay a $20 million dollar athlete his due?
I agree the War On Drugs is unnecessay. But a war on greed isn't only necessary it's critical to the survival of American democracy.The only destructive greed is that of the government in it's lust for money and power and that includes the unnecessary war on drugs.
That's not the case in Denmark. The negative outcomes you've listed are the result of bad management."Free" education and "free" health care makes virtual slaves of teachers and doctors and creates a de-facto monopoly as well.
The problem with our government is corruption, which is the consequence of greed and excess. Period. That problem can be solved, too. But, as with enhanced assets confiscation, it will require vigorous political activism.Government greed is killing the economy and I'm sorry to add, they are not to big to fail.
