We are headed to become another Mexico.. so looking at Mex, should tell us the ultimate plan bush has for our tax structure.

How does mex get enough tax revenue? From the poor ? HOw on earth they do that ? No middle class.

1. No middle class = worker class and ruling class, yes?
No doubt that's the way lord bush sees America.

Hell, he didn't think twice, or ONCE, about spilling American soldier and Iraqi innocent blood for his LIES, did he?

rich unAmerican fucking bastard that he is

2. Unrestrained capitalism does not tolerate a middle class
Edited on Fri Jan-14-05 09:37 PM by TwentyFive
With unrestrained capitalism...human labor is a resource, just like oil, trees or cattle. The objective is to beat the price down lower and lower, while making him constantly more productive for the corporation.

Just look at chickens kept in cages at big corporate factory farms. Filled full of drugs, bills clipped, unable to walk on their own...tightly controlled until slaughtered.

This is the future of the American worker. Fill him full of drugs and propaganda...make him an efficient worker until he drops dead, and make his mind fully compliant so he never resists.

4. TAX structure of Mex, anyone? no info yet, tho nice replies
still looking for the general structure of mex taxes.

who pays? I dont see how they can get enough from the poor, and they would not want to tax the billionaires. No middle class to speak of. who pays ?

5. Taxes are not the only issue.
America used to be set apart by our rule of law, free press and excellent FREE education system. The rich & powerful could be brought down for doing wrong....and the factory worker's child could become a doctor.

Contrast this with what goes on in other countries...where favoritism, paying off govt officials, and the Golden Rule (the one who has the gold, makes the rules)...is a common way of doing business. In many countries, a poor factory or farm worker has zero chance to improve their life, and their children are guaranteed the same fate. But rich families can always buy access and favoritism. If you accuse a powerful businessman of raping your daughter, the police will break your legs if you make noise about it.

So on top of taxes, I think there are other issues too. Will we have good liberal judges who will listen to the plight of the poor man who was wronged by the wealthy corporation? Will the factory worker's child be able to get a good education..or will they have to get a mcjob to help out the family instead?

It's clear that conservatives plan to change to entire landscape - not just the tax issue...but everything! Govt will favor the wealthy...the poor will be without a voice....and the middle class will gradually decline into poverty.
