Raising capital by limiting our societies movements regardless of age should be watched carefully, as it is a dangerous precedence.
This proposed legislation is an unjust, immoral money-grab, in my humble opinion.
I think you're absolutely right. Communities, cities, counties, states are all broke. We've been robbed by the banksters, and our governments--at
all levels--now think they have no choice but to balance their budgets on the backs of the people. More fees, more tickets, more hidden taxes of every
kind.
This IS the New World Order. They intend to crash the economy until we're broker than Somalia, and then build their new 1000-year Reich on the ruins.
The laws will become more stifling and the tax load more onerous until we're abject slaves so thoroughly at the mercy of our new masters that we
can't emit a whimper without getting the boot on our necks.
Any questions....?
Good point. I had a thought the other day... with all of this pushing for people to get higher education, even though such a high percentage of
college grads can't get jobs, what does that leave? Student loans that can't be paid. Student loans that are run by the govt and people who are
too broke to pay back their loans. Well, if you are in default of your student loan because you are out of options like deferrals, etc., your tax
refund gets intercepted. So they are guaranteed to collect. Even if you are say, 6 months behind on a $100/mo loan, but owe maybe $15000, they take
everything and put it toward the $15,000, not just $600 for the months you were late. It will continue that way until it is paid off, one way or
another.
My point? We are broke, so the govt. pushes education. People then graduate, but can't pay back loans, because there aren't enough jobs, so the
govt. collects on its loans, via IRS refunds. Not saying people shouldn't pay back their loans, but see, it is a vicious circle for people who
simply can't find money because they can't work, even after all of this education. It is just a way to make more money off of people, truly, and
then it does away with all the pesky refunds the govt has to hand out at tax time.
