I Think It Is Time For Tax Reform In the United States

But definitely not this crap !

Today will be a historical day in America. One remembered as the Day our elected officials in Washington gave permanent tax breaks to mega-corps, and multi-national corporations.

Breaks that were unwarranted as the economy isn't in need of any type of stimulus at the moment. A break so big that it will effectively rob Congress of any future chance to correct any downward fluxuations in the economy. Breaks sold to Americans with a pittance of individual tax relief that runs out in 10 years. At which point the deficit will be up another 12 trillion (yup..., TRILLION) dollars and the only way to offset that will be to raise taxes on the middle-class.

Congratulations everyone.
You're living in a time of historical significance...

Needless to say I believe this overly rushed piece of taxation legislation is a bad thing that makes little sense in the current economic climate. I also think they'll push it through.

Congressional Republicans and the White House need a win at any cost ... this legislation will have far-reaching repercussions

Imagine what people would think if they found out the Department of the Treasury is actually controlled by the IMF (International Monetary Fund), under direct control of the U.N., and NOT the U.S. government???
