Did you bother visting
that website, or did you just dismiss me without even thinking?
It isn't a tin foil hat conspiracy website.
It is a website run by neo-conservatives by neo-conservatives. Articles written by people who are quite high up in the Bush White House that detail reasons for, and means to achieve, unchallenged American military hegemony -- aka, an Empire. Papers from 1992 pushing for a war on Iraq for American "strategic interests" in the region, not because of WMD's, the Iraqi people, Al`Queda links, or any of the other wispy reasons put forward for the war.
You have heard about the Project for a New American Century?
I'm taking the stated agenda of the US right-wing at face value. Not the excuses they use to pass bills, but the policy papers they use to determine what bills to put forward.
Capital gains tax on investments are scheduled to expire. If you earn your money from owning things, you won't get taxed for it. If you earn your money by work, you will. This isn't some kind of projection, that is on the law books right now.
Inheritance taxes, which only hit 2% of estates, are going away. A family estate of less than 1 million $ isn't even touched by this tax These taxes hit large estates, and discouraging multi-generation economic dynasties.
edit: Almost all of the tax revenue from this tax comes from multi-multi million dollar estates.
Know who DeLay is? Ask him what his position on the seperation of church and state is? How about Scalia?
How many liberal politicians have been called unpatriotic and traitors for daring to actually oppose right-wing politicians? How many judges where appointed by Bush without Senate oversight during the last 4 years, using the 'out of session' loophole? How many judges which the Senate refused to confirm got appointed this way?
I wish I was wearing a tin-foil hat. I'm not talking about vague trends, fears, or slippery slopes. I'm just reading the position papers of the policy makers, and the laws they have already passed.
I know most of this doesn't matter. Many people seem to select a political party, then decide on their morality and political opinions based off the party. The party they support can do no wrong, because that would mean they are wrong.
