US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Thursday.
We (the United States) tax everything that moves and doesn’t move, and that’s not what we see in Pakistan,” she said.
The system has been so rigged that there is no longer a damned thing we can do about it. Save for one. And it will come to that, I believe.
Vote them out? Right. Not when the election system has been so bastardized and corrupted that it is useles for anything other than making the masses think they have a modicum of control over 'them'.
Hillary has nothing to lose by being honest and candid except her job. Sure she could be fired by Obummer but that would only make her a more sympathetic figure and then she could go on TV or give magazine interviews or write a tell all book on Obummer and tell all those little dirty secrets about Obummer that nobody knows but everybody suspects. Would that give the MSM drive by media apoplexy!
Though the first half of her mention is valid, I am failing to comprehend why she would include a Pakistan mention in such a remark.
It's simple. Something that isn't taxed is not controlled by politicians. That lack of control equals freedom, which has become an empty word in the US.
Maybe ZERO and his Czars told her no more BIG $$$ to Pakistan and they need to get some $$$ from the people. Can’t figure out why else she would say this. Frustration?
“The percentage of taxes on GDP (in Pakistan) is among the lowest in the world... We (the United States) tax everything that moves and doesn’t move, and that’s not what we see in Pakistan,” she said.
“You do have 180 million people. Your population is projected to be about 300 million. And I don’t know what you’re going to do with that kind of challenge, unless you start planning right now,” she said.
So her point is Pakistan needs to increase taxes to prepare for a population of 300 million?
Honesty? That woman doesn’t have an honest bone in her body—she is all about manipulation.
Democrats like to tax and spend with other people’s money.
They fight for elections to have the power to spend taxpayer’s hard earned dollars. Hopefully, they will not force the dollar to collapse.
