The tax man cometh, and so he should
McCain’s new “Tax man” ad, depicts Barack Obama as the tax man who will destroy your family, suck your household budget dry, raise the price of gas, and whose presidency would be a recipe for economic disaster. The Republicans have decided to shift some of the campaign focus to “Old Reliable”, the foundation of the GOP, the jewel of the party, taxes. By talking taxes, they are reaching out for the one overall party philosophy that permeates all factions within the party. Taxes bad, tax cuts good, rich people better. On the surface this issue seems pretty straightforward, simple to dissect, and easy to understand, but below the surface, this issue takes on an ugly face, that says a lot about the proponents on both sides of the issue. When analyzed from the perspective of the current economic snapshot, to preach tax cuts is very close to being unpatriotic, and as much a threat to national security as Al Qaeda. Taxes finance the government, just as you work to finance your household budget. As you increase your spending, you eventually need an equal increase in pay, or you will operate in a deficit that will increase as long as you continue spending more than you make. Since George Bush took office, his policies have turned a budget surplus into one of the highest deficits in history, and how did he do it? He dramatically raised spending with his war in Iraq, and at the same time, cut taxes. Tax cuts are very popular because people hate to pay taxes, but in the light of today's economy, to not raise taxes would be unpatriotic and irresponsible, but to speak of cutting taxes is dangerous, because the government is operating at such a high deficit it risks being dangerously close to that little push over the waterfall into the financial ruin of bankruptcy. But the ugly side of the “tax cut” stance is that it reveals the lack of responsibility and greed of its proponents, who are essentially selling out the future generations of this country. The Republican’s are always against higher estate taxes, but their aversion to paying taxes in order to be fiscally responsible, actually wipes out the estate that by right, should be bequeathed to future Americans. George Bush, and John McCain, the Republican leadership, and almost the entire Republican constituency are willing to bankrupt the America of their grandchildren, to grab at a few more dollars to stash into their money market account. To have this mentality is not only irresponsible, it is also mean-spirited in its bird-flipping attitude, aimed at the same generation for which they now engage in baby talk and parental nurturing. It is each generation's task to care for this country, its people, and its ideals of freedom, to do otherwise fails the task, and can be considered nothing short of unpatriotic. We should want higher taxes, if through that taxation we can see real improvements for all of our citizens, and not just the privileged few. If through our taxes the government can improve our infrastructure, reclaim the American Dream, provide an improvement in everyday life, with greater transparency and simple disclosure, we would be ahead of the game. Tax me if you must, tax me fairly, but spend the money wisely and responsibly, that’s all I ask. William S. James, Tax Patriot |
