The Kansas Governor, Sam Brownback, entered office a few years ago with a Plan. Brownback represents the Far Right. The Far Right is a distinct minority, representing wealth. The Plan akin to the Old Reagan Trickle Down Economics was to have a major tax cut for businesses and the wealthy. This economic move was said to help create jobs. But there would appear to be a second and to the Far Right more important goal. You should know that the Far Right is against social programs, public schools, medicare, social security, etc. Why? Because they end up paying for it. Now not totally, but our progressive tax system is based upon the idea that as your income increases, you should pay more in taxes. Thus the rich, humanely are obligated to help the poor and less fortunate.
Consider the population numbers in terms of the lower class, lower middle class, middle and upper middle class, lower upper class and upper, upper class. In a democracy who SHOULD win based on shear numbers. It will not be the upper classes. You must understand the Far Right fears democracy. They attempt to control it by use of wealth to control the minds of the people that heavily outnumber them.
The second goal of Brownback, was to cut taxes so much there would be revenue shortfalls. Why, well then the state would be forced to cut back on spending, for example on public schools. This is exactly what is happening in the State of Kansas.
AND NOW WE GET TO THE NEW PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP AND NATIONAL TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHY(PEOPLE AND CORPORATIONS).
The end result of massive tax cuts for the wealthy will be some job creation AND massive debt that will cause CUTS IN NEEDED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS including medicare, social security, federal aid to states, etc. Of course the states will have to cut their budgets and the beneficiaries of these CUTS will be the wealthy and the rest of us victims.
NOTE THE FOLOWING
Spectrum, "
a
broad range of conditions or behaviors grouped together and studied
under a single title for ease of discussion"(wikipedia). The Political
Spectrum is framed by the Far left and Far Right. Actually, it could be
said "framed by violence and dogma". On the extreme Far Left,
revolution against the Haves by the Have Nots and on the extreme Far
Right, total control by the Haves over the Have Nots. Strangely, in
between is a spectrum of freedom. The ultimate revelation of this
freedom spectrum is that as you move to the right, freedom is lost. "I
once had a momentary vision of the future and it was totalitarian." No
freedom, total control by a Tea Party like group. No compromise, only
their "truth". History is full of examples of such dictatorships. They
were ended by war and revolution.
