The tail is now wagging the dog....

The ‘Amazon Tax’ and the ‘iTunes Tax,’ Compared

Let's face it, we have reached that point in time where the people no longer run the governments of this nation, the governments (federal, state, local, etc - there seem to be SO many) run us. And we asked for it.... just look at the last Presidential campaign.

We are still celebrating the fact that we have elected the Man who is now going to take care of us; and we should be prepared to give everything we have to make sure that the powers that be have whatever resources they say they need to make sure that we never hit a bump in the road again. We should welcome the taxing of our music, our phones, our soda, our income, and eventually our thoughts (don't laugh, they surely will try it eventually) if necessary in order to keep in place the structures and the institutions that have consistently failed to do exactly what they have promised - not once or twice, but ALWAYS.

Failure is their only option; but, like lemmings, we have soaked-up the bullshit promises (oh, the audacity of hope) and followed the same path over and over. 2 + 2= 5: we believe it again and again.
