Enough of this “Trickle Down” Economic BULLSHIT – TAX the Rich!

We have had reduced taxes by the year for decades on the mega-wealthy, which absurdity is accepted broadly by a bereft of sense public that falls for the overt LIE year after year, i.e., reducing taxes for the mega-wealthy benefits the economy and people less fortunate – it's that same old LIE, stated time and again, by bought political leaders of major parties regardless of stripe, which the public falls for again and again. So let's take this now proven whopping LIE for a run in any given western economic reality and see WHO benefits from not taxing the rich as heavily as we are taxed, up to 47 cents in the dollar for average Australian citizens.

Which average citizen tax rate, prompts the first QUESTION and damning answer: How many corporations, banks, financial or large media entities pay 47% of their total annual income in tax? Answer: ABSOLUTELY NONE, that's right, NONE, BUT that tax rate continues to apply to average citizens, while of course corporate tax is reduced year by year by of course our bought and paid for politicians that continue to SERVE minority interests rather than the people. So where are these “trickle down” benefits, as quite clearly available wealth is trickling UP?

So let's test it again from another angle, incomes and wages. Your averages wages, citizen, have been STAGNANT for decades while of course the incomes of executive managers and corporate MDs-CEOs have gone through the proverbial roof in relative and REAL terms – do YOU SEE any “trickle down” benefit occurring here? Absolutely not! But has that LIVING reality sunken into your media duped brains yet? AGAIN, absolutely not, as the verifiable reality is that the rich remain largely immune from large taxes and in the US we have the absurdity where some of the largest and wealthiest corporations pay no tax whatsoever – so what do you make of the “trickle down” obvious CRAP, LIE NOW?

But of course, we should already know that the next political leader will reduce taxes for Big Business while LYING to you/me about y/our plummeting living standards, loss of social benefits and safety nets and the horrendous difficulty you/I face raising a small family and surviving day to day; but don't worry you are 'benefiting' from the “trickle down”/(UP) effect, according to our bought politicians – is it plain to see the LIE now?

Today, after decades of shifting more of the national tax burden onto average workers and increasingly reducing taxes for those easily able to pay a fair rate, we see the RESULTS; the mega-rich have gotten more obscenely richer while everyone else has suffered HUGE drops in living and quality of life standards – a person in your current position today was far better off 30-40 years past. Now what that REALITY clearly indicates is that YOU/I have been going backwards regardless of how hard we work as the SYSTEM has been clearly rigged to favour of wealthy elites, which incomes continue to rise while ours continue to stagnate – so I would ask rhetorically, is that Fair or the result of good honest government?

Now the obvious solution goes begging as we've already established the BIG LIES of our politicians serving their masters NOT average PEOPLE. First, we boycott all major parties as their fitness to govern is now obvious MYTH, they simply serve and take orders from their wealthy masters.

So it presents NO RISK WHATSOEVER to vote for ANYONE that is willing to represent the PEOPLE and NATION first, by addressing then remedying the huge disparity in the distribution of available wealth, which is largely ACHIEVED by fair TAXATION for ALL relative to gross income.

Fair play and fair taxation is NOT rocket science, it simply requires streamlining and discretionary powers to hit those that employ hundreds of lawyers to avoid paying their fair share in tax and when these CHEATS are found the fines and jail sentences they receive should reflect the weight of their crimes against the people on average incomes, which of course translates to offending MDs and CEOs being jailed for life and their companies being nationalised, in other words ownership transferred to the PEOPLE, as was the status of the COMMON-WEALTH BANK in Australia before our sell-out politicians privatised most of our national assets and businesses, which historically has now resulted in deplorable living standards and the widest wealth disparities seen since the times of the ancient Pharaohs of Egypt.

And anyone that continues to believe the pure self-serving fictions that emanate from the elite owned mass media deserves what they get, because if you imagine that it couldn't get much worse for you then emigrate to the dog-eat-dog elite owned economy of America, where you will learn to eat shit and like it.
