“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Socialist Party presidential candidate Norman Thomas

All your salaries are belong to us


WOW! Just WOW!

The UK's tax collection agency is putting forth a proposal that all employers send employee paychecks to the government, after which the government would deduct what it deems as the appropriate tax and pay the employees by bank transfer.

I guess the next logical step toward complete, oppressive socialism is for the government to pay every salary of every citizen after it takes what it wants out. I don't know how that's much different from what we do here in America already. The government already seizes what it wants from our checks before it comes to us, thanks to the insidious 16th amendment. At least our government lets us save a little face by pretending that we are paying our taxes rather than having them taken from us. Great Britain is dispensing with the charade and just forking it all over to the feds. British citizens will just have to accept whatever their overlords in government deem is an appropriate income for everybody.
