Add in obscene student loans that have nothing to do with the cost of education and can not be discharged by bankruptcy, tag on social security taxes and payroll taxes that disproportionately hit working people, figure in the impossible cost of end of life care for people who have no medical insurance which brings most estates to bankruptcy and what you have is a Ryan trajectory that very much seeks to return most people to a life of indentured servitude.
I wonder what great wonders will be built by American economic Slaves during this century.  |
1. People like Romney make most of their money with capital gains. Would you like to raise the rates on capital gain taxes?
2. Student loans...the cost of higher education just coincidentally rose like crazy the minute the federal govt. got involved with student loans. The whole system is fucked up from the get-go. Just like medical care...the problem isn't the rates on student loans. The problem is that universities are overcharging so much that you NEED a student loan to go to college in the first place.
3. No great wonders will ever be built in our lifetime. Ecological groups make sure of that. The govt. would NOT build the Panama Canal in 2012. Nor the Hoover Dam. Or pretty much anything else. Hell, they can't even let a private company build the Keystone pipeline.
But pretty much every "big" impressive thing the U.S. ever built would be illegal to build under current federal regulations.
