Although most of the Economic Elite live and operate inside the US, they are not concerned for our future. To them, the entire world is theirs and they work intimately with other elites throughout the world against the interests of the US public. Ever since the days of Henry Ford, the Economic Elite have needed a thriving US middle class to increase growth and profits, but now, in the global economy, they view the US middle class as obsolete. They increasingly look globally for profits and they would rather pay cheap labor in countries like China and India. On top of the millions of jobs they have already shipped overseas to increase profits at our expense, they are planning to ship an additional 25% of current US jobs overseas as well.

“The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes… As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money powers of the country will endeavor to prolong it’s reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. Abraham Lincoln

On February 28th, 1993, agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) attempted to execute search warrants at a compound in Waco, Texas. When they were fired upon, the federal government and various members of the compound entered into a 51 day standoff, which was broadcast via radio and TV around the nation, and around the world. At the end of the standoff, a massive firefight and fire broke out, resulting in the deaths of many participants. What Happened When: Waco (WHWW) is a TV episode that examines the events that led up to, happened during, and occurred in the aftermath, of the Waco siege.

Before we get into the meat of this argument, I would like to quickly address something that I have seen every time I get to debating the current tax system: Is the current tax system Constitutional? If you wish to see the full lists of arguments as the why it is not Constitutional, please see this site. I do not have time to respond to all of those statements, but I can simply say that if something is in the Constitution, more specifically the 16th Amendment then it, by the very definition (http://m-w.com/dictionary/unconstitutional), can not be Unconstitutional. That said, let us get into the actual ‘fair tax’ issue.

What exactly is the ‘fair tax you ask. Well, it is a sales tax that would increase all sales to 30% (they claim 23%, but I will show how fuzzy their math is shortly) and eliminate all income tax. Furthermore, it would give a prebate that is supposed to cover the cost of living for the year (pays you back the sales tax used that year for needed things). Lastly, the fair tax system eliminates the 16th Amendment making it Unconstitutional to have any form of an income tax again.

How is it that man can feel one emotion, yet keep himself in check from acting on it? How is it that conflicting desires and concepts exist within our soul, yet do not destroy us? How can one thing have competing wants and need? In his treatise The Republic, the philosopher Plato examined these exact questions.

To start his examination, Plato envisioned that the person was made up of two factors: the body and the soul. The body is inanimate, and is comparable to a vessel. The soul is the animate part of a human, controlling the body. Even with this vision, Plato ran into a small problem. He realized that it was possible to desire something, yet want the opposite. This would seem impossible for an entity with one and only one soul.
