My goodness, I didn't expect liberal pinheads to embrace my idea, but I had no idea of the amount of hate and vitriol they would hurl at me with no basis. I have been called unpatriotic and un-American and there is nothing unpatriotic or un-American about my idea. In fact, it is rooted firmly in the principles of free capitalism and fairness. It is no more "un-Constitutional" than Federal Income Taxation.
Running the government "like a corporation" IS the title of the thread! Do corporations allow people who have no investment in the company to make corporate decisions and set corporate policy? No, although they will listen to their customers and consumers, they have a board of directors who control stock in the company, and they are the ones who set policy and make corporate decisions. Not only that, but the stockholders who own the most stock, have the most votes.
Now the beauty of my idea is, you would no longer have people cheating on taxes, no more tax fraud, because everybody would want to pay in as much tax as they could, in order to have a say in government. With the assurance that the people who were paying were the ones doing the decision making, we would have no problem generating tax revenues. But the most significant aspect would be the efficiency of government, we would have very little wasted spending. People just tend to waste it less if it is their own money, as opposed to someone elses. We wouldn't see our government making stupid decisions of how to spend the tax revenues, because it would be their constituents money, not some 'rich person' they demonized. Special Interest would no longer have a voice, unless they had some mighty deep pockets. But, Hey... if they want to pay for their pet project, why not? It would be their money, not mine.
Yes, we would have a much better government if we ran it like a corporation. Unfortunately, pinheads won't ever allow this, they will fight tooth-and-nail against any such an idea, because it would mean the end of their free ride. An end to the Endless Pile of Money they believe is in Washington D.C. for the taking. An end to this false outrage over the national debt when a Republican is president, because they see a political opportunity. It would end the class warfare they have propagated the past 30 years or more, and their little Robin Hood Syndrome regarding taxation of the wealthy to give to the poor.
Pinheads will say... Oh, but what about the little guy who has nothing and can't pay tax.... we must give him a voice! But as an earlier pinhead proved by tossing out ****** Buffet's name, there are plenty of wealthy liberal elites. I can think of several more... George Soros, John Heinz-Kerry, The Kennedy's... So, there would be plenty of benevolence toward the poor little guy who had nothing, I am sure! But back to the original assertion, why exactly would someone who didn't contribute, be entitled to a voice? When you take your family out to dinner, and some stranger follows you in and sits at your table, do you give him the menu and let him order? Does he deserve to? This is the fundamental reason we are trillions in debt, the people who are doing the dinner ordering, aren't the ones who are going to pick up the check and leave the tip.
