Taxing Hypothetical Income

An interesting person who knows what he’s talking about has a post discussing one of the more bizarre tax laws. You should read it. You should think about it. Maybe it’s time to begin wondering how a government that took its rise, in part, from a putative protest of unjust taxes has come to this point.

I don’t usually do this kind of post on here, but really, is it not obvious that our federal government has delusions of godhood?

Yes, I think that ever since the phrase “grace of Congress” came into use, the hand was tipped.

And there is a lot more to the story, but it is too distressing to set out in one sitting. Conspiracy theories can’t match the mindless intrigue exhibited by the outworking of a sovereign-statist worldview.

“Mindless intrigue” –excellently said, Vic. It is, it would seem, the inevitable result of statist idolatry.

People pack meaning into the most inane statements –not a real meaning, you understand, just veiled hints. Like a book with bad dialogue –things that are supposed to be weighted symbols turn out to be a bit more of muted cymbals. And with that sort of idea “mindless intrigue” and “random stratagems” become an alarming reality.

If they must become real, better stratagems than strategems. It’s a gov-speak thing. Computer geeks started it all, so they could become superior to the computer-using aristocracy relying on them. Alexander Haig has a veritable lexicon of random stratagems ready to parlay into mindless intrigue. And Rick Warren, member of the Council of Foreign Relations, has transported the lexicon into the religion sphere. It’s like Christmas. It belongs to the world; let the world have it. To quote Tavieh, May God bless and keep the stratagem czars–far away from us.
