April 15: I LOVE AMERICA!

I just want to say that I love America.

Especially today.

The sentiment of the founding Fathers that we can live together, respect each-other and the God of Nature's creation without tyrannical  control is beautiful.

That so many people love America SO much to give 30 to 40 percent of their earnings is beautiful.  Admit it.

I am not sure this tax is always appropriate given the various state sanctioned oligarchies/monopolies of oil (e.g. Exxon pays no U.S. taxes despite record earnings), insurance/healthcare, finance (Federal reserve is private and pays no taxes) and a defense industry that on inspection display a moral turpitude beyond the founders nightmares.  I don't believe personal residences or individual's labor should be taxed...only corporations and maybe capital gains and consumption. I don't believe a pax americana should or even could be funded by pizza delivery guys and service employees.  The thought of a portion of the fruits of my labor funding the killing of children across the globe sickens me.

But the dream is still alive.  And I am grateful and hope it springs anew. People making sane laws that respect the individual and fuel the common prosperity.

God bless America today and always.
