Politicians Who Ask for Tax Increases: They are all guilty of mismanagement

Sadly, the days that online sales will remain tax-free are coming to an end as money-grubbing politicians addicted to altruism look to every crevice of the economy to loot money satisfying their name-plate addictions.  California has already taken such steps and given the massive amount of online sales conducted during the 2012 Holiday Season, politicians strapped for cash and needing even more taxes to cover their gross mismanagement look for additional revenue to disguise their tendency to legalized theft for the political class.

What big government advocates neglect to consider is that small tax supporters see the management of the current tax structure as pathetically foolish.  Who in their right mind would give more money to a spending addict, and that is what almost every politician in office is, no matter how big or small the office.  Politicians are disconnected from the money because it isn’t theirs to begin with and once they learn that they can gain great power by doing favors for demographic groups of voters, and that power enriches them in ways they could never achieve in legitimate business, they are hooked for life—so only an idiot would advocate giving more money to those kinds of people.  The situation is really reprehensible, and I simply don’t wish to support legalized theft.  The theft is legalized because it is law makers who make up the laws that they use to gain wealth from normal every day people who elect them to manage governmental affairs, then discover too late that they must pay their taxes at the amounts the politicians dictate, or go to jail.  That is why it is called legalized theft.

Internet sales have been thriving largely because sales tax on the internet has not been collected allowing profit to drive online businesses with almost pure capitalism that has been one of the saving graces in the American economy.  Brick and mortar stores are complaining that online businesses are free of the kind of restrictions that they are under—which is true.  Even companies like Best Buy are considering shutting down their real stores in favor of an online model similar to what Amazon.com function under—mostly to avoid the cost of those buildings—driven largely by looting tax laws.  That is after all what happened to Blockbuster Video.

The correct direction for America would be to eliminate sales tax for all retail shopping, so pure competition can determine winners from losers, but that will never happen without bloodshed now that politicians have become addicted to the tax revenue from sales tax.  More taxes allow poor management to hide their incompetency, and all politicians no matter what their ideological stances are managers who have been hired to manage the affairs of the electorate.  When a politician asks for more money they are admitting that they have failed in their management of taxes, and in America, California has been the worst of the worst culprit in mismanaging tax revenue.  This is why they are now taxing online sales revenue in a hopeless bid to keep their brick and mortar businesses from fleeing the state from high tax rates. Meanwhile politicians can throw more stolen money to their public employees and other grossly mismanaged mishaps for a few more years with the additional revenue without a care as to the long-term peril that their actions will have on the national economy as a whole.

Tax increases are the demands of the incompetent and addicted driven personalities of over-indulgence, and they should be eliminated by starving them out of existence.  Giving such lunatics more of anything is only perpetuating evil as it feeds off the collective welfare of the good and productive.  Taxes are therefore a form of evil, because they allow bad and corrupt personalities to rule over their intellectual betters with the legal mechanisms of democratic rule.  Such realizations have been glazed over as the last refuge of the freedom minded has fled online to hide in cyberspace from the long arm of the bureaucrat.  But not anymore, taxes are coming to the internet because enough people didn’t stand their ground and fight off the fools. Instead they yielded like they always do to more tax grabs by the very worst that human society produces, the popularity contest propelled politician and their vanquished souls of mismanagement.  It is because of such politicians that the American economy suffers, and it is the fault as well as all who are complicit with their silence.  The economic downward spiral of modern society has the blood of all such people on their hands with both their simplistic power plays and their mild acceptance of such evils operating with full understanding of a treacherous tomorrow ushered in by the follies of politicians.
