Real estate for ransom
Have we been under a rock or what? This little gem has been around for a while. The idea expressed here is that by moving the taxation burden away from land and onto labour (income taxes) and consumption (GST), landlords and land speculators have been getting a free ride at the expense of everyone else in the economy. While this is not the only problem in the economy it is certainly a very large one. This is why land prices have gone into a bubble and will continue on a boom-bust cycle until land taxes are a larger tax base. This is also why income tax and GST is so high and will continue to get higher.
Trump Unstumpable
When Donald Trump entered the presidential race, many people thought of his entry as a novelty, perhaps even some free publicity. But then something unexpected happened, Trump started voicing the concerns of a muzzled sector of US society. Trump was off the standard political script, anti-Immigration, primarily illegal immigration from Mexico. Estimates are than as many as 10 million illegal immigrants from Mexico are working in the USA at any one time. This was stunning enough and tapped in to a ground swell of support. Following the latest terror attacks in Paris, he added a ban on Islamic immigration in the USA. The media simply went bananas, so did the voting public.
Trumps lead in the polls grew, showing he had tapped in the true sentiment of the public.
The political establishment hate him, along with the left leaning media. But right now he is a stand out contender with some polls making him electable as an independent president. The last time an independent was elected president was in the time of the founding fathers.
The next most damaging aspect is the American public has become accustomed to the president acting as a dictator and legislating through executive orders. While this is not what executive orders are meant to be for, the president has been set to allow dictatorial power. Democrats didn’t care about dictatorial power of a democrat was doing it inside their narrative, but now the narrative has changed they are very worried and are screaming blue murder.
It’s a year out from the US presidential election and Trump has a commanding presence in the minds of voters. Could Trump be a true change in political direction for the USA?
If running as a republican candidate Trump’s chances are even better.
The dark side of political correctness
A pretty good summary of political correctness , the Orwellian neurotoxin of of cultural Marxism.
Can you see it all more clearly now?
Predatory Victoria police
The IBAC report released recently has been quite damning of Victoria Police. Of significant concern is sex predators among Victoria police abusing vulnerable women in the community. These predators seem to be well ingrained officers and are protected from prosecution and disciplinary action in most cases. Its no surprise to us that Victoria police are cowardly enough to target women for abuse, we saw it time and time again. The IBC report also mentioned that Victoria police are heavily infiltrated with bike gang associations, making Victoria police a quasi bikie gang with nicer uniforms, state funding and few motorcycles, it sort of explains the very poor treatment of women Victoria police display. Victoria Police have a become a force we need to be protected from rather than one that protects us.
Perhaps its time to simply give up on Victoria police and call in the ADF to round up Victoria police into a stockade for military court-martial and have the ADF manage law and order in Victoria. Yeah its pretty sad when you think about how good martial law might be an improvement for the state.
