My favorite Ted Cruz, supported by the Global Tax Revolt and Tea Party, scored a stunning upset victory in Texas. Cruz became the third insurgent Republican this year to defeat an establishment Republican in a Senate primary.

Cruz scored 56 percent of the vote to 44 percent for Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst. Cruz says: They said this was impossible. They said I couldn't do it. And you know, they were right. I couldn't do it, but you could and you did it. Tonight is a victory for the grass roots.

Cruz will be a strong favorite to win the election in November against Domocrat Paul Sadler, a taxmonger. Atlas upon seeing that the greater his effort, the heavier the world bores down on his shoulders, he simply shrugs. We have a dystopian Occident, where capitalists refuse to be exploited by increasing taxation and regulations and disappear offshore. Yes, capitalists are on strike! They are stopping the motor of the world by withdrawing their minds that drive growth and productivity. Capitalists demonstrate that a world in which the individual is not free to create is doomed, civilization cannot exist where capitalists are slaves of kleptocrats, and the destruction of the profit motive leads to the collapse of society. Atlas shrugged!

Taxes feed the underground economy. It is your patriotic duty to evade taxes all the way! Taxation causes an enormous and unnecessary dead-weight loss to the economic system. The sheer cost and time burden of businesses and individuals trying to comply with the tax system, let alone the cost of myriad bureaucrats who claim to be administrating it, waste hundreds of billions of euros. This waste of resources unnecessarily reduces economic growth and job creation. A major reason this obscenity persists is that few kleptocrats think seriously about the consequences of what they have done and are doing, or just don't care. http://venitism.blogspot.com

The income tax has become much more progressive in the past thirty years, resulting in a situation in which a relatively small minority of taxpayers pay the bulk of the taxes, while most citizens pay little or any income tax. This is causing an increasing disconnect between benefits from government and what most citizens pay for. One result is a greater polarization in the political realm where a majority of citizens increasingly demand more government benefits for which they want others to pay.

It makes no sense to tax corporations at all, because only people pay taxes, not legal entities. The corporate tax is paid by customers in terms of higher prices, by suppliers in terms of lower volumes of business, by employees in terms of lower wages, and by stockholders in terms of lower returns.

All other persons and groups in society, except for acknowledged and sporadic
criminals such as thieves and bank robbers, obtain their income voluntarily:
either by selling goods and services to the consuming public, or by voluntary
gift. Only the State obtains its revenue by coercion, by threatening dire
penalties should the income not be forthcoming. That coercion is known as
taxation. Taxation is theft, purely and simply, even though it is theft on a
grand and colossal scale which no acknowledged criminals could hope to match. It
is a compulsory seizure of the property of the State's inhabitants, or subjects.

There was no permanent income tax in the United States for 125 years. Can anyone
possibly say that the government didn't have enough revenue to function during
that time? It wasn't until the adoption of the Sixteenth Amendment in 1913 that
the redistributionist road was paved for an income tax. And what benefits has
the increased government revenue from the income tax given us? It is the income
tax that has made possible World War I, the New Deal, World War II, the Great
Society, the Vietnam War, and our current welfare-warfare state.

Every penny of our money that the government allows us to keep is a good thing,
whether it results from a decrease in the tax rates, the lowering of tax
brackets, or an increase in deductions, loopholes, exemptions, and credits.

The income tax system is a vast income redistribution and social engineering
scheme. The income tax code doesn't need to be simplified, shortened, fairer, or
less intrusive. The income tax rates don't need to be made lower, flatter,
equal, or less progressive. The income tax doesn't need more or larger
deductions, loopholes, credits, or exemptions. The whole rotten system needs to
be eliminated if we are to starve the beast that is the state leviathan and
strictly limit government spending to only what is constitutionally authorized.

When an economy suffers from erectile dysfunction, via-grab does not work, but only via-cut. The via recommended is to cut taxes, not grab more taxes. There are limits to how much government can tax before it kills the host. Even worse,
when government attempts to subsidize prices, it has the net effect of inflating
them instead. The economic reality is that you cannot distort natural market
pressures without unintended consequences. Market forces would drive prices
down. Government meddling negates these pressures, adds regulatory compliance
costs and layers of bureaucracy, and in the end, drives prices up.

Millions of innocent people have died of hypertension caused by agony on taxes. Millions of concerned citizens are joining modern day tea parties of the Global Tax Revolt, named after the Boston Tea Party of 1773. They are protesting governments that, in the wake of today's financial crisis, are rapidly strangling their freedom, with endless bailouts, mounting regulations, reckless spending, and the promise of a crippling tax burden. Correctly sensing that freedom is being discarded, they seek to battle this trend by taking to the streets to register their outrage. http://venitism.blogspot.com
