It seems that everyone is
disgusted with government, and our elected officials today. They do what is in their own self interest,
and totally defy the will of the people. They work for an institution that pays them up to $500,000 per year, and the benefits
are outrageous. They have Pensions and Health Care that make the average working man look like a peasant. The institution
that provides them with all of these great perks- Makes No Product. This institution is a service provider only. They tax
the earnings, savings, purchases, sales, property, and the improvements, of every working person and business person in this
country. An institution that makes no product provides it's employees with a better deal than most working Americans. They
tax the equity of our livelihood to provide for their own "Better" livelihood, in exchange for the services they
provide.
Looking at the President, House, and Senate Leadership, let's say there are about 1000 elected officials that
can make up to $500,000 per year, plus perks, to serve the country. They are a service sector that provides the services
of Government. However this county is in debt by Trillions, so I must ask who are they serving? Not all of this money goes
to maintenance of citizens, infrastructure, and defense.
Well let's see. Once elected everything they do is at the request of the 50,000
lobbyists that represent the Private Sector. They make even more money than the Government Officials. Together
they are both providing a service that doesn't produce a product. This Representation of the
Private Sector to influence the Public Sector is not all manufacturing, infrastructure and defense. No! They
also represent Wall Street and all of the other Service Sectors that Provide Services and produce
no product.The Wall Street service sector makes even more than the Lobby service
sector, and they only service the Private Sector. They make even more perks and salary and everything they do is
Tax Deductible.
Hank
Paulson made $500 Million dollars in 2 years by taxing* the shareholders at Goldman Sacs. (*Stock Options
given to you free at the expense of the other shareholders.) Then he went to work for the Govt. and took Billions of the Taxpayers
money and gave it to the Private sector and no one knows where it is. These are the services that are provided while
never making a product.
Wall street
makes more money for insiders than all of the sectors they service. This is equivalent to the waitress making more than
the restaurant. When you think of the bailout, it is like the butler and the accountant (the likely suspects of the missing
money) buying the masters house in foreclosure for cash. The service sector is making more money than the sectors
they service and the sectors they service are deeply in debt or bankrupt. Their cost of service exceeds the net worth of their
service. This system is of course the "Redistribution of Wealth".
When you think of all the reason you
hate government and taxes just remember that Wall Street does the same exact thing and worse. The government taxes
percentages of earnings and value by law. It can not exceed earnings. Wall street siphons liquidity at will, and is
not regulated by law. It can therefore Privately " Tax" all liquidity to the point it exceeds your earnings.
I will site the Cost of Health Care to prove my point. You can't afford it because the unregulated monopoly, applies
a "Private CEO Compensation Tax". It's not because of the "Government Tax".
However all health care costs should be tax deductible. Wall Street siphons liquidity as a service. The sweat of your
hard work can be siphoned away before it gets a chance to cool your body.
Maybe the reason Toyota is the number
one car maker and it's stock is so high, is because like many countries, our Military provides them with protection,
they in turn provide their citizens with health care, and their CEO's don't get Stock Options. Stock options are the drain
plug on the economic engine. When wages are low, quality is poor, no benefits are provided to employees, two parents have
to work, and government entitlements are eliminated for war and bailouts, just to pay the Cost of the CEO's that make more
than the Sectors they Service, It's a Tax. It is the Private sector taxing the liquidity of everything and everyone for the
sake of only the few insiders.
The C.E.O. (corporate
elite oligarchy) has been taxing the consumer, businesses, and even the government, for over forty years. If you want to hate
the government fine. Just remember the government is run by the private sector not us/U.S. They both make more money by taking
more money.
