TAXES and The IRS

      Joe Ryan believes that the tax structure has been tilted in favor of the persons and entities that can afford to Pay Democratic party and Republican party representatives the most bribery. Nowadays, that's hedge fund managers, and other non-producing speculators and economic leaches that have attached themselves to the underbelly of capitalism. There's no justification for the uneven tax rates that allow the Hedge Fund investors to pay at a 15% tax rate, while almost everybody else pays at a much higher rate. The entire tax evasion and tax shelter industries, along with all the accompanying accountants, attorneys and other enablers do nothing at all for anyone; but they drain resources from society at a frightening pace. While Joe Ryan has nothing against accountants; he understands that the more resources society reserves for bean counting, the less resources we'll have for more critical chores. Less accountants, equals more Doctors, Nurses, Engineers, and machinists. So, first of all, Joe Ryan thinks we need to start concentrating on making the system much simpler to deal with, and much more equitable (for all tax payers).

      Joe Ryan realizes that most Americans cannot envision a functioning United States Democracy that does not include the IRS; However, with the Democrats and Republican Party hacks purged by the voters from power by 2012; huge savings could be realized, as government shrinkage would become the norm. If we charge the Globalist for the myriad of ways they use and abuse the US government, and if we begin to recover some of the GCS members secreted funds, then we can shrink the government down to a size where reasonable import and excise taxes, utilized with flexibility to protect particularly vulnerable economic sectors, could take the place of our Income Tax.
