THANKS ALL for entertaining the thought and presenting additional viewpoints regarding the Fair Tax.
The current system is broken. While I also DO NOT TRUST politicians to keep their hands out of the cookie jar what is most appealing to me about the Fair Tax plan is that I CONTROL how much tax I pay based on what I CHOOSE to purchase new.
Can there be manipulation? Absolutely!! Where there is a will there indeed is a way. Buckminster Fuller said [b]What sparks human greatness? I believe it arises the moment we stop believing we are powerless and start trusting that while we may only be a single individual, we have within us the power to change the world.[b/]
Buckminster Fuller created, beyond the geodesic dome & buckminsterfullerene, and often shared the metaphor of a 'trim tab' that solved a major issue regarding major floating islands called battleships. If a small trim tab can alter the course of a mighty vessel then surely you and I as little individuals can change the course of humanity.
it is in this vein that I suggest we look at alternatives to the overtaxation we all face. Could the Fair Tax plan be implemented? Perhaps. could it be corrupted. Indeed. Also, could it be successful?? We will never know without exploration.
I think that our current POTUS is trying to be a trim tab in the deep state and IF he & his DOJ are successful the swamp will indeed drain a little.
I think the NEXT discussion and 'trim tab' conversation could be about the FREE (or very cheap) ENERGY for the entire PLANET. Maybe some of you have seen cars that run on water (hydrogen actually) - specifically Stanley Meyer?? He claimed his invention would power a vehicle from NY to LA with 22 gallons of water. There are MANY MANY other potential solutions that have been discovered and IMHO they were bought and buried. WE need to be a trim tab for creating FREE or very cheap energy. Just think of how that will unlock the doors of humanity.
THANKS for reading and entertaining the thoughts expressed here and also for sharing and adding to the conversation with your thoughts!!
On a side note: ALL of my garlics have been harvested!! Just waiting on my Grey Griselle shallots to fall over and dry out some to harvest those and I cannot wait to make my killer tarragon beurre blanc and drizzle that on some pan seared scallops and French green beans!!!
Happy Hump Day!!
