Destructive Taxation

An economy is a complex organism. One common cancer on the economy has always been taxation. The trouble with taxation is it begins small in all societies out of the need for security. Then it grows to proportions that make the amount of the tax the greatest of security threats.

Now is a good time to take stock in how we do things since the whole old system is about to collapse. Rather than get violent get wise. Tax should be use to slow the bad but never to reduce the good. It kills the goose that lays the golden egg. So human labor should never be taxed nor the marketplace. Investments should not be taxed and forget about taxing human staples. Taxation reduces these things that we need. Isn't it stupid to tax houses at all if there is even one homeless person on the streets?

But tobacco, booze and drug? Prostitution? Gambling and mineral depletion? How about land location value? Sure, taxing land location value rather than houses and labor would eliminate urban land hording and speculator profits. But couldn't we live with that? Certainly all but the most powerful at the top today would do fine under such a system. All urban land would be taxed into productive use creating more jobs than there are workers to fill them.This will cause wages and benefits to rise while driving real economic growth.

The problem? It's the cancer on our nation that I just warned about. The banksters depend heavily on the current labor funded society. The land location value funded society would force banks to earn an honest living but in the long run make them and everybody much better off. Read "Progress and Poverty" by Henry George and you will see what I mean.

What I fail to understand is what does all the repetitious point of view of yours has to do with Cuba being exposed as you call it.

What do you have to do with Cuba? you are not from the island and have never lived or visited it, what makes you a pundit on Cuba and why should anyone pay attention to someone that adheres to notions such as 9/11 was an inside job?

I've been told that the people in Cuba believe me. Of course they have not had the benefit of the western media owned by four or five individuals that claims it's a notion 9/11 was an inside job. As for me no one has been able to explain in a sensible fashion a number of basic scientific flaws to the official "story." It's why I will no longer fly. According to the official story jet fuel can melt 3 foot thick steel beams in building but it has no effect on steel jet engines that burn for considerably more time than the couple hours the towers burned. You don't find that "notion" a bit silly?

Mr. Menocál, don't waste your time trying to extract any common sense from the owner of this so called blog, it isn't interested in it, conversation with anyone is what it seeks, albeit it always manages to drive away all reasonable and intelligent people. Notice how it deflected your point and did not answer your outstanding questions and illuminating context.

You hit the nail in the head Mr. Menocál, do not expect an honest answer from the recipient of your questions, it will never acknowledge its dishonesty, lack of knowledge about all things Cuban and most of all its illnesses, at least it has apparently realized how shabby and distasteful its snot swallowing and constant coughing (cocaine abuse symptoms) on air were, and how shallow and pretentious it is to title a program Cuba Exposed, yet spend 9% of its alloted time talking about itself, most of the time to itself and once in awhile to its embarrasingly retarded and illiterate "friend" from Union City, NJ, the same creature that has no clue as to what is being said while listening to the program. They are both an embarrasment to the real Cuban community in exile.

Contrary to the cocaine addicted hypoglycemic and demented blog owner's claim, its program is not heard in Cuba, only the Castro DGI must listen to it, as it does with all programs that suppossedly mention Cuba.

Correction, on the second paragraph instead of 9%, it should read 99 % of its alloted time.

What's the chances that both of you two write with the exact same writing style? You can't tell because your grasp of English is pure public school. My amigos should ask, why does the U.S. government spend money to send a shill here who changes personas probably more often than his underwear?

As this bankster Ponsi Money swindle falls apart you will see why they do this and also what a waste of time it is now. The only reason I spend even a second addressing this clown is to demonstrate to the duped what the shill's motives are. But every time the shill comes here he is "exposed" by his own poorly thought out words.

I am correct amigos about everything that I have warned you about. The bad news is this government will fail then fall. I just worried what will happen after that. The time approaches fast so get ready.

The point I made has been proven by the creature that authors this so called blog, Mr. Menocál, eveything I warned you about has been predictably proven, again.

The creature attempts to deflect, deviate, deceive and provoke, its style never changes, its functional illiteracy is crystal clear to anyone with basic mastery of the English language, a capability the creature sorely lacks, from the onset of its preceding comment its functional illiteracy becomes self evident, so does its psychotic fixation with a couple of issues, it beats those drums to death.

I do not care about 9/11 conspiracy theories, the cocaine addicted plebeyan that constantly swallows its own mucus is an impostor and a pretender, that is the issue that I have brought up, just as Mr. Menocál and other commenters have done, the creature is not Cuban and it is far removed from its ancestral Cuban DNA line, the creature dictates to real Cuban patriots in exile who fight against the tyranny, it refuses to learn from real Cubans and disrespects them at will, these offenses will not be forgotten or forgiven, the creature will be brought down to the ground for its oprobium against Cuban patriots.

Mr. Menocál, notice that the creature has insulted and disrespected you as well, it has already stopped its BTR program dubiously titled "Cuba Exposed" it should had been titled "Estrada's Weekly Chats with Itself, About Itself" the embarrasing snot swallowing and perennial cough (symptoms of cocaine addiction) have been cleansed from their effects on our community's reputation, this so called "blog" is next.

Better get those meds' refilled. You are ranting again...with both your personalities.

Thank you CJB-BCJ, like you I am not interested in 9/11 conspiracy theories, in fact I don't care about this issue at all, what matters to me is the liberation of my native Cuba and its future, a future that should be free of foreign interference and meddling, that includes all foreigners, advicement and counseling must be welcomed, but not foreign interests and their neo-imperialist intentions. As far as Estrada is concerned, as long as he lays off the Cuban temática, I'd have no problem with him.

Having a chat with yourselves again? I know why you would rather I only write about the tyrants in Cuba. But tell your bosses to just relax. I keep telling you the jigs up. It doesn't matter any longer. Your superiors' free range slave operations will cease to exist in the near future.
