Your story creates more than you know

"There's a way that sharing a struggle or a big big challenge that you've carried for years ... based on good intentions both carried and shared ... opens the way for a sharing of the reality of life ... where love can just grow stronger.  Your story,  shared achingly and lovingly created something unintended or certainly unknown until you shared it."

When we the people are equal policies will change. A therapist offers an aggravated view on inequality

The idea that people like me are paying more in taxes than my rich democrat and my rich republican peers, fellow (albeit a corprorate fellow to which I am not) business owners and even the senators and representatives of a career (multi term) driven political and governmental employee base is not news at all.  The conversation about the tax code is cyclical and potentially a distracting void that repetitively goes no where.   Why? With 60,000 plus pages the tax "code" has a benefit hidden somewhere for almost all of us.  

.

If the tax code were actually changed to what would be "fair and equal" we all become equally accountable for cleaning up this monstrosity of legalized money moving driven frankly by .... wait for it .... BANKS!  If you give the article (which is really not news, it's an editorial) a read that one liner about loans that help people avoid taxes ... that's kind of a big big deal.  And those of you who know me will not be surprised to hear me say banks are also the ones who drive what funds health insurance ... and the only people with good health insurance in the US might be politicians ... or those richer citizens who can afford to buy supplemental policies.  Let me stay on task here ... 

.

A culprit in the tax code - a big big big one ... are banks.   

.

While I am quite thrilled at the very open view that this author takes,  looking at the tax issue from all sides (and taking no side at all) - the big "miss" in her summary are the large non-profits - who also do not pay taxes and the mammoth language of a 60,000 page document called the tax code.  Do you know how many lawyers and accountants and bankers are needed to make that kind of money movement work and for it to also still be legal?  ALLOT!

.

So we can keep looking at the rich who are cheating or give them a moral voluntary compasss to "trust" or even give them an out (like Warren Buffets 99% philanthropy donation upon death defense - uhhh to non-profits?).  We can keep talking about a supposedly misguided tax code, with unfair slants in a 60k page document that favors just about everyone with some free shit everywhere such that an entire tax code management industry exists to operate it. As it is now the hidden benefactors to the tax code are not just the non payers of taxes but it's the maddening money processors taking cuts to manage it.  Each player in the engaging tax code that frankly once distilled down hits us all unfairly (if we're open and honest and transparent about our own gains) "profits" from the shenanigans of an algorithmic code that even software giants cannot accurately comply.  

.

A complaint or a solution? 

.

I hope you asked that ... I really really do.   Especially the solution part.....

.

We the people (when we stop calling each other stupid and bad and wrong and being passive/aggressive enemies to one another anyway) can do something. We the people can ... we can. 

.

Here's the pitch and it's the best I've got:

.

Let's just flat line the tax code to a one paragraph code... maybe something simple like this:

When any American deposits money into any banking instituion they shall automatically deduct from each dollar deposited (some f**king single digit percent here) to which the government of the US shall disperse to (some f**cking list of US government bank accounts where government pays its bills) such that the tax payer and the tax receiver can transparently and openly develop minimally stable cash flow estimates to care for all of its people - effective immediately.

Here's the "news article" or video (it's an editorial btw) to which I write my opinion ...

Love is simple.  Hugs, kisses, hand holding, a touch on the shoulder...grown ups, kids....platonic and romantic - straight and gay and non-sexual too!  Today is about love .... so love a little (or allot).  And, before you say "I don't have anyone to love me..." please, please, please remember this: you have you!  So love - a little or allot - and that means YOU!
