Even the slowes...A tax by any other name is a tax. Even the slowest minded Americans can see a government that confiscates more and more of what money they erroneously consider to be theirs. <br /><br />And taxation with representation is merely a "feel good" premise. We have a long and sordid history of "sending Mr. Smith to Washington" in order to "represent" us, only to find that he no longer remembers the place from which he came....only the place TO which he arrived.....and....he likes the new place. The backers of Senator Lugar took many years to discover that their "home boy" no longer considered their state HIS home. And with that, taxation in no longer representative. It is simply...profoundly.....brutally....confiscatory....extracted to fuel the lavish lives of "the people's representative" and to feed the insatiable narcissism that underlies the vast majority of political people.<br /><br />MA seems to be leading American society in the "evolution" of this model...but the other states are desperately racing to catch up.<br /><br />And in this instance, a new and distinct "tribe" emerges that contrasts with the American public.....the Elected Tribe...and there really isn't much difference between its component villages....Democratic, Republican, liberal, conservative.......the only true delta being the approach employed to extract tribute from the masses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
