The "tax-cut" Scam: Special Interests Aided Tax-Reform Advocate |

Millions of ordinary Americans have voted for politicians based on promises to cut taxes. Then they have to keep voting for them over and over, with most of us never seeing a significant reduction in taxes. And why do you think you keep being offered the chance to keep voting for "tax-cut" promise politicians. Shouldn't they have already cut your taxes?
As it turns out, the "tax-cut" pledge is not based on principle, but largely on greed. After the tax breaks go to the special interests, who do you think is left to fund government? It all a shell game to disguise privilege operating under the illusion of principle. |

But where is the thundering anger at the destruction of the nation? Where is the outrage as our financial solvency is being destroyed, our moral standing defiled, our military broken, our sacramental precepts of governance strangled to death before our very eyes? Where is the righteous fury that must surely -surely!- attend such brazen plunder, such naked arrogation of power, such shameless, mocking deceit? Where is the leadership that will stand against such palpable treason? Where, in other words, are the Democrats?
They are nowhere to be found. |

American legitimacy is undermined. Hardly anyone believes in American morals any more. American credibility was shattered.. The present rests on errors of the past, lies and crimes..The Bush administration created a self-fulfilling prophesy with the invasion. |
