Sometimes it takes me
awhile to figure out certain realities. Like
many folks who like to write their thoughts down, sometimes my thoughts and
writings keep on stirring around in my brain, particularly during the sleeping
hours. And then I awake with a
full-grown awareness of something within what I’ve thought or written.
I’ve thought and written
and talked about concerns about Republican pledges against taxes for quite some
time, but only in the wee hours of this morning did my conscious mind fully
realize what has been going on for years, in full view of us all, and what it
means.
It sounds good, the idea of
low taxes. It sounds good, the idea of
smaller government. But, in effect, an
organization funded by undisclosed donors with a lot of money (generally
believed to be certain very large corporations and the very wealthy) controls
all the Republican Senators and Representatives who have taken a pledge and who
continue to honor that pledge of ‘no tax increases under any circumstances.’ By that one fact we are dominated. By
that one fact, there will be no budgets resolved, no deficits resolved, nothing
done regarding our children’s education and our health programs and immigration
policies – nothing will be resolved.
Think of it: there is
an organization with unknown donors with unlimited funds which holds the
pledges and controls the votes in Congress.
We have lost control of our country and Congress has lost control of
themselves.
So now we know
