Despite the so-called red line in taxation that the Government claims it has secured the reality is that much of our taxation is already controlled by the EU, such as indirect taxation. Recently the EU announced its intention to take more control over British taxation. These plans include:
EU-WIDE TAXES
Currently the EU is primarily funded by contributions from member-states. However, the anti-democratic European Commission, with the support of the European Parliament is pushing for EU taxes to fund the EU. This will allow it to by-pass national governments and take money directly from the people and businesses of Europe.
The European Commission recognises that as this is controversial they can instead receive funding by raising money directly for themselves via new EU stealth taxes including....

I think most, even the Brits would agree with me, when I say that George Bush is a puppet. The puppet masters put him out there and you can heave your irritation at his name and the flag to which it is attached. It's a beautiful arrangement and it's been going on for qite some time although others were better at keeping it a little less transparent. My question is, who was the last guy who held the office that really called the shots who, ok paid attention to corporations and lobbyist without having to be a slave to them.

I've heard the media refer to Lou Dobbs and John Edwards as Populists. I watched Lou Dobbs a lot when I had cable and he seems to be a Democrat that differs though on immigration and he seems to be somewhat of an isolationist. I know Edwards wants fair trade. What exactly makes these two Populists? A government/economics teacher I had in high school had his students take a survey to that would plot them in a party based on their positions on issues. There was a box split into 4 sections: Libertarian top left, Democrat bottom left, Republican top right, and Populist bottom right. The more economically conservative you were the higher your dot would be placed (in the Libertarian or Republican sections) and vice versa for the Democratic and Populist Sections. The more socially conservative you were the more rightward your dot would be placed (in the Republican or Populist sections) and vice versa for the Libertarian and Democratic sections.

I just saw Hillary making a comment on a news show about how there are Republicans coming up to her all the time and saying they support her because they "didn't sign on for [the Bush Administration.] Is there any truth to this? I think it's one of two things:

1. She was making things up in front of the camera.
2. She has actually fooled herself into believing this.

What do you think?

It is a group of humans with a diabolical plot to enaslave planet earth. This cabal can be traced back to Babylon and Summer. It was there that they designed their plan of world domination. Through secret societies and lending money that did not exist, this cabal took over the governments of the West. They pose as "the" West while hiding their real identity. They promote sexual perversion, and the dissolution of nation states and family. They are fiercely opposed to established religions. They start wars and orchestrate economic depressions by, for example, engineering currency crises. They use the IMF, World Bank, UN and NATO as instruments of world control. They kill with no remorse. They claim to be the maintainers of world peace, the promoters of human rights and freedom. Their aim is one single currency, one world army and one world government.

I think that an American deserves respect no matter what party he or she is from. For the most part, I am conservative in my views. But, there are plenty of democrats putting their lives on the line for me and my country. For that I'm thankful! Now why should I hate anyone who is a democrat? There is really no reason! Why should a democrat hate me? Why can't someone say: "I respectfully disagree!?" Why not separate all rational ideas from both parties? I'm not saying that one should not stand up for what he believes in! But why not have an open mind? Politiical peer pressure has no affect on me. I believe in protecting the environment, and I also have alot of conservative views. I refuse to let my views be decided by anyone other than myself.

Some may vision this as a happy ever after fairy tale. But I would like to disagree! I think the goal can be accomplished! I gotta think positive! I mean I'm just sick of all the hatred. I have found that hatred and anger only does more harm to us. The only thing that really matters is our vote! People can run the politicians down until they are blue in the face. It will solve nothing! When you cast your vote, you are actually doing something! I'm not speaking against any certain party. I'm really just speaking in general! I mean alot of people don't like politics because of all of the relentless mudslinging that takes place. Running our leaders in the ground is truly pointless and solves nothing. It did no good for people who hated Clinton, and it is doing no good now! We all have the right to free speech. I guess I would just like to see more respect and unity among Americans. A democrat should not be persecuted on the job for being a democrat and vice versa. And it does happen!
