good one (grin) ...

Perhaps that was implicit in "false flag operations" (perhaps the elite are planning to stage an "alien invasion")?

I avoided listing what I meant by "false flag operations", so as to avoid causing most readers to conclude that this cow had grazed on too much locoweed.

Okay, I'm with you. As long as we find out if the aliens were loaded, I'm cool.

Yesterday, The Daily Bell posted a couple of articles discussing UFO's, Aliens and (of all things) Muslims at UFO-Like Objects Appear on Schedule, and at Crossing Memes? – UFOs and the Muslim Threat. They avoid any conclusions on the matter, but do note in detail the increasing and evolving memes regarding this subject being pushed by the main stream and alternate media.

15. Abolish the IRS.
Replace the income tax with a national sales tax.

Reasoning. Besides the incentives of working vs. saving vs. consumption, how much productive time is wasted complying with the tax code? I spend two solid day preparing my taxes each year. I have a file cabinet full of paper, just in case. How many tons of paper are mailed around to comply?

Instead of 100M americans dealing with record keeping and gvt. interaction it could be changed to maybe 1 million or so business having to deal with tax compliance.

What a waste of human effort.

We just have to make sure they dont put the national sales tax and forget to take the income tax away.

One thing I just cant get is how there is not more cry for the current income tax to be reformed. When you have a large percentage of the population (I do believe it's somewhere around 50%) that dont pay taxes I would say its rather unfair. And the bible of tax codes that no layman could ever have the time to go through is another ripoff. If we are to have an income tax it should be flat. Everyone pay's. And if it will be progressive then make it into 3 clearly defined brackets. Lower the tax rate and just remove some of the stuff you can "deduct" which most people dont even know about....

The reason I'm so sceptical about the Republicans' new Contract with America or whatever they're calling it now, is because their first Contract with America back in 1994 promised us a simplified income tax that could be completed on a postcard. Once they got in, I never heard of it again.

I expect that any Tea Party candidates that get elected will give us a similar, do-nothing performance.

Be assured that the locusts planning a VAT for the United States do NOT intend it to replace the income tax, but to supplement it.

I doubt they will cut spending. The 8 years we had with them in charge showed that. The problem I see is no once even dares to touch military spending which needs to be cut.

As for the republican tea party, they are just neocons who hijacked the movement that started from the ron paul followers. Those who wanted to end the wars, cut spending etc. Not the neocons focused more on what happens in the bedroom and masturbation habits than doing anything efficient in government.
