This e-mail is going out to a progressive group which includes several hosts
from Jacksonville (Florida) Progressive Radio as well as a regular group of
libertarians, conservatives, Republicans and those generally associated with
the
Right.
There has been much talk of the expiration of the G. W. Bush tax rate
reductions
that are set to expire at the end of the year.
It is important to realize that income taxes are just that, taxes on income,
not
wealth, as the Left likes to misprepresent them. In essence, they are partial
enslavement, which is the very essence of communism and fascism, which means
you
work for the government.
So here is a challenge to all liberals, progressives, Democrats and socialists
(dare I add communists?). Below is the second item on Karl
Marx's recommendations to accomplish the communization of a society.
Please show how income taxes are not partial enslavement and differentiate your
views from this crucial part of the communist program.
I ask any progressive recipient of this e-mail to respond to this but think
only
one will. You may submit this challenge to any other of your politically like
minded for their responses.
Please note, that unless requested otherwise, I might submit your responses to
other recipients. I will honor requests to not do so and will not identify the
respondents.
Finally, please don't misrepresent what I have written as I am sure several of
you will.
>From The Manifesto by Karl Marx:
Nevertheless, in most advanced countries, the following will be pretty
generally
applicable...
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax...
Progressives of the world, start your engines. (Jeopardy theme, maestro
please.)

You can not simultaneously advocate for a small government
and for this country to invade others.
