The Cause of the National Financial Crisis
Is
The failure to raise the tax rate on the Very Wealthy –
Those who can afford to pay much more to the Federal Government —
So that the National Debt would come down
And the Federal Government would be able to do its Fiscal Responsibility
For
The United States of America
And
Pay the Nation’s Bills on Time.
The Federal Government Shut-Down
Is
A Manufactured Crisis.
A Deliberately-Caused Crisis.
The contentiousness between the major political parties is like a play being performed before the National Audience.
The two parties speak in a dialogue of disagreeableness to each other –
Like Archie Bunker and his son-in-law on “All in the Family” on Saturday night TV.
And the American TV audience watches it all at home.
And we are reminded of Shakespeare’s words that:
“All the World’s a Stage.”
And Charles Dickens’
“A Tale of Two Cities”
That began with . . .
“It was the best of times . . .
“It was the worst of times . . .
“A time of reason,
“A time of incredulity.”
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens: Chapter 1
What a difference it would make for all the Country if the lawmakers in the United States’ Congress got together and did the right thing before God and Country –
And raised the tax-rate on the Wealthy to such a degree that —
— In a very short time —
The Federal Government’s National Treasury was overflowing with —
A National Surplus
Enough to pay
All the Country’s Bills.
And there was –
Peace on Earth
And
Good Will Toward Men.
And the coming of
Thanksgiving
And
Christmas
Were
Good Times Again
For
All.
