A Suicide War Tax To Kill Off Democrats!

Last week Congressional Democrats proposed their own demise without knowing it. In their frustration to end the war in Iraq they wanted to wake up stupid American people to the war's true cost with a progressive yearly tax that would pay for the war as it is prosecuted or fought.
Here's what CNN said:
"Top House Democrats Tuesday proposed a "war surtax" to pay for the war in Iraq, a plan quickly condemned by Republicans and opposed by the House leadership. Rep. Dave Obey Tuesday said the surtax is a way for "this generation" to pay for the Iraq war. The surtax would be "a percentage of your tax bill," said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Dave Obey, D-Wisconsin. "And if you don't like the cost, then shut down the war."
So far the war has cost about $800 Billion or about $2,666 per American or about $6398 per year per household. One has to assume a new yearly tax of $6398 per household would end the war rather quickly, which is exactly why the gov't wouldn't dare levy such a tax. It's entirely too democratic for Americas to be aware of the cost of American gov't. Gov't expenses must be hidden from the people so the politicians are free do what they are sure is right on behalf of stupid Americans. And it makes perfect sense too. After all, humanity has profited so much from political leaders hasn't it? It makes you wonder what on earth Jefferson had in mind when he reversed all of human history by founding America exclusively to have freedom from its would-be political leaders?
But why do these newly chastened, freedom loving, opportunistic Democrats stop with a war tax? Why not tax everything in a way designed to elucidate the true cost of what gov't is doing for them at any given time? To that end, they could replace all the various taxes from the excise tax, to the import tax, withholding tax, sales tax, property tax, income tax, corporate tax, inflation tax, and gas tax, with one big and very obvious tax. This year all Federal taxation will amount to $10,800 per person or about $26,000 per family. If you add state and local taxation, the consolidated gov't bill sent to every American family would be about $50,000 per family per year. Wouldn't it be just so lovely to bring an instant end to the insouciantly levied Democrat taxes by merely showing them to the American people? But of course the Democrats would never let that happen.
Further, if they did eliminate the withholding tax (so Americans got to see and touch their money the way most businesses do, before sending it off to the Democrats ) and if they moved tax day from April 15th to election day, Americans would vote with a totally new Republican mentality for sure. But, Democrats obviously won't extend their war tax because it would make somnambulant Americans aware if the Nazi-like deception and arrogance with which anti American Democrats steal their money through an infinite variety of mostly hidden and seemingly painless taxes so as to subvert the most fundamental ideals of their country. American was created by Jefferson to provide mankind with freedom from Democrats, not to provide a stealthy enslavement to their contemptuous, and now seemingly ineluctable leadership, wasn't it?
It is a fact that Jefferson's greatest rival was Adams whom he feared and hated for his royalist, Anti American big gov't tendencies. It wasn't until the election of 1800 (the second American Revolution) that Jefferson was able to set in motion the Republican ship of state to make clear that the Revolution wasn't just a revolution against the English gov't but also a revolution against gov't,(what we now call Democrats) in general. One consolidated tax bill from the gov't each year would instantly reestablish his legacy. Moreover, the non withholding, consolidated tax bill rendered on election day would be so American and so forthright that it would almost certainly kill off the Democrats instantly just as Jefferson already did at the founding of American History, a time that was also the founding of civilized World History.
