Tax the Multi-Millionaires & Billionaires @ 92%
The ink wasn't dry on the Constitution when the imagined nobility of a Machiavellian mentality and hereditary privilege began on-going sabotage of our constitutionally mandated "Republican Form of government." "Would you believe it possible that in this country there should be high & important characters [Corporatecrafters united with Christiancrafters] who need your lessons in republicanism, & who do not heed them? It is but too true that we have a sect preaching up & pouting after an English constitution of king, lords, & commons, & whose heads are itching for crowns, coronets & mitres. But our people, my good friend, are firm and unanimous in their principles of republicanism & there is no better proof of it than that they love what you write and read it [Rights of Man] with delight." -- Thomas Jefferson Letter of June 19, 1792 to Thomas Paine.
After inspiring the American Revolution via "Common Sense" Paine closed his argument for armed conflict with "Four Letters On Interesting Subjects" written between May 22 and July 2, 1776 just prior to the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. At the close of Letter III Paine wrote:
"As to Corporations themselves, they are without exception so many badges of kingly tyranny, and tend like every other species of useless pomp, to the oppression and impoverishment of the place, without one single advantage arising from them. They keep up a perpetual spirit of distinction and faction, engross emoluments and advantages to themselves, which ought to be employed to better purposes, and generally get into quarrels and lawsuits with the other part of the inhabitants. They diminish the freedom of every place where they exist.... But of all Corporations that of Philadelphia is the most obnoxious, its power resembling that of an hermaphrodite, or is at least a kind of aristocratical Corporation made hereditary by adoption"[ and "person" via Supreme legal fiction].
Jefferson observed that "virtue and interest are inseparable. It ends, as might have been expected, in the ruin of its people, but this ruin will fall heaviest, as it ought to fall, on that hereditary aristocracy which has for generations been preparing for the catastrophe. I hope we shall take warning from the example and crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country." -- Jefferson Letter of November 12, 1816 to George Logan.
"If the concentered powers of this combination are entrusted to a single man, it is a kingly prerogative, inconsistent with our form of government, and should be subject to the strong resistance of the State and National authorities. If anything is wrong this is wrong. If we will not endure a king as a political power we should not endure a king over the production, transportation, and sale of any of the necessaries of life. If we would not submit to an emperor we should not submit to an autocrat of trade, with power to prevent competition and to fix the price of any commodity." -- Senator John Sherman, 1890 Session of U.S. Congress, (21 Cong. Record 2457), cited from The Court Years, p.156 and authored by Justice William O. Douglas.
"Corruption dominates the ballot-box, the Legislatures, the Congress and touches even the ermine of the bench. The fruits of the toil of millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes for a few, unprecedented in the history of mankind, and the possessors of these in turn despise the Republic and endanger liberty." -- Populist Party of 1892.
"A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car, but if he has a university education he may steal the whole railroad."
"These economic royalists [of Corporatecraft] complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. These economic royalists are unanimous in their hate for me---and I welcome their hatred."
"We know that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as government by organized mob....I should like to have it said of my first Administration that in it the forces of selfishness and lust for power met their match. I should like to have it said of my second Administration that in it these forces met their master." -- President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
WE THE PEOPLE must take the Corporate monster by its pointed tail and end its endless pilfering from the U.S. Treasury via legislative and judicial legal fiction. WE must demand that the fair tax rate of 92% imposed on the Corporations in the 1950s be imposed today and be an on-going rate forevermore. No more welfare checks in any form for the multi-millionaire and billionaire, especially in the form of tax breaks. Once our constitutional Republic is cleansed of all cancerous corruptive forces it will flourish under the true egalitarian and economic system as intended by the Founders...

Why is this important?
We have a revenue crisis, not a debt problem. The U.S greedy wealthy of imagined nobility and hereditary privilege actually believe they have "entitlement" to plunder U.S. revenues at will with impunity. Once our Republic is free of this cancerous culture of greed and corruption afflicting only the1% of imagined nobility and hereditary privilege then real egalitarian and economic justice will be enjoyed by the 99%. The Mission Statement of the Preamble to the Constitution mandates egalitarian and economic justice for the "general Welfare" of all U.S. citizens under our constitutionally mandated "Republican Form of government." All other forms of government have proven to be oppressive and tyrannical, i.e., Monarchism, Communism, Fascism, Theocracy, Libertarianism, Corporate Commie Capitalism of cheap labor, Monopolistic Corporate Capitalism of cheap labor, Free-market Capitalism of cheap labor or any other form thereof masked as a "Republican Form of government", etc., ad nauseam. A fair tax rate for these incorrigible freeloaders is the 92% rate they paid in the 1950s now reduced to 15% or no taxes at all via their on-going sabotage of our constitutional Republic. This incorrigible criminal class of multi-millionaires and billionaires actually receive government welfare checks every year amounting in the billions!!! They have yet to earn a single dollar of their immense wealth untainted by their culture of greed and corruption.
