The greatest scheme
Read this story about the GREAT TAX CON by Tom Heartmann, on TruthOut.org.
I don't want to increase the top tax bracket for those making over $375,000.00/year too much. I think that the top tax income tax bracket should never be more than 50%.
The rich never take personal income anyway. They control their wealth buying and selling stock, controlling companies and thus people. Their measure of fortune is one of great power, not dollars. The ones who really understand control the media, the banks, the military, and our political debate.

No End In Sight
Why Can't We Just BE FRIENDS?
A friend on FaceBook sent me a message that he's playing Australian Football in Kabul, Afghanistan. If that is possible, why can't we make it out of Iraq before I retire?
See the movie "NO END IN SIGHT" (2007), see if we can learn from the mistakes of the past.
Also, saw the 'Obama Deception' "documentary" had some interesting information, but the last half was a deception about Obama. Propaganda. (If any of the predictions in that film come true, I'll eat my hat.)

The Rights of Man
Thomas Paine - perhaps the most under appreciated of America's Founding Fathers, wrote The Rights of Man. It detailed a representative government with enumerated social programs to remedy the numbing poverty of commoners through progressive tax measures. Radically reduced in price to ensure unprecedented circulation, it was sensational in its impact and gave birth to reform societies.
Read the Age of Reason, too.
"If, to expose the fraud and imposition of monarchy . . . to promote universal peace, civilization, and commerce, and to break the chains of political superstition, and raise degraded man to his proper rank; if these things be libellous . . . let the name of libeller be engraved on my tomb"
