Damn the Revenue, Full Speed Ahead with Socialist Agenda

The ambitious Marxist-fascist agenda of Comrade President Obama has finally hit the wall of reality, the buck has finally stopped here!

The country is tapped out of TAX REVENUE!

Obama has single handedly driven the economy into the brink of failure by his socialist government expansion/nanny state!  We reported last years April tax receipts were 30% less of prior years, now America has fallen farther down to depression levels of tax receipts.

Will this reality stop the growth of government under Marxist Obama?  Not when ideology comes first, the American people second.  How can a congress and President so hell bent on nationalization of the private sector be stopped in their tracks?

NO MORE MONEY!

But don’t think for a minute that this impediment to government control will stop the fascists whose reality is state power over mass segments of the population, that jewel is within their reach.  They may well never be in full control of the US government again, to hell with the taxpayer its full speed spending ahead!

The loss of tax revenue was anticipated, what is truly unclear is how Americans will react when its leaders faced with zero tax revenue to support massive government expansion continue that expansion of tyranny in the interests of the State rather than on behalf of the people who elected them.

The problem is Marxist-fascists are giving the people what they think they want, rather than giving them what they need, free market employment, so they can make their own choices with their money!

Civil unrest is growing, the taxpayers against tyranny are called extremists by the Marxist-fascists!

AP ENTERPRISE: Federal tax revenues plummeting

By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER, Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The recession is starving the government of tax revenue, just as the president and Congress are piling a major expansion of health care and other programs on the nation’s plate and struggling to find money to pay the tab.

The numbers could hardly be more stark: Tax receipts are on pace to drop 18 percent this year, the biggest single-year decline since the Great Depression, while the federal deficit balloons to a record $1.8 trillion.

Other figures in an Associated Press analysis underscore the recession’s impact: Individual income tax receipts are down 22 percent from a year ago. Corporate income taxes are down 57 percent. Social Security tax receipts could drop for only the second time since 1940, and Medicare taxes are on pace to drop for only the third time ever.

The last time the government’s revenues were this bleak, the year was 1932 in the midst of the Depression.

“Our tax system is already inadequate to support the promises our government has made,” said Eugene Steuerle, a former Treasury Department official in the Reagan administration who is now vice president of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation.

“This just adds to the problem.”

While much of Washington is focused on how to pay for new programs such as overhauling health care – at a cost of $1 trillion over the next decade – existing programs are feeling the pinch, too.

Social Security is in danger of running out of money earlier than the government projected just a few month ago. Highway, mass transit and airport projects are at risk because fuel and industry taxes are declining.

The national debt already exceeds $11 trillion. And bills just completed by the House would boost domestic agencies’ spending by 11 percent in 2010 and military spending by 4 percent.

For this report, the AP analyzed annual tax receipts dating back to the inception of the federal income tax in 1913. Tax receipts for the 2009 budget year were available through June. They were compared to the same period last year. The budget year runs from October to September, meaning there will be three more months of receipts this year.

Is there a way out of the financial mess?

A key factor is the economy’s health. The future of current programs – not to mention the new ones Obama is proposing – will depend largely on how fast the economy recovers from the recession, said William Gale, co-director of the Tax Policy Center.

“The numbers for 2009 are striking, head-snapping. But what really matters is what happens next,” said Gale, who previously taught economics at UCLA and was an adviser to President George H. W. Bush’s Council of Economic Advisers.

“If it’s just one year, then it’s a remarkable thing, but it’s totally manageable. If the economy doesn’t recover soon, it doesn’t matter what your social, economic and political agenda is. There’s not going to be any revenue to pay for it.”

A small part of the drop in tax receipts can be attributed to new tax credits for individuals and corporations enacted in February as part of the $787 billion economic stimulus package. The sheer magnitude of the tax decline, however, points to the deep recession that is reducing incomes, wiping out corporate profits and straining government programs.

Social Security tax receipts are down less than a percentage point from last year, but in May the government had been projecting a slight increase. At the time, the government’s best estimate was that Social Security would start to pay out more money than it receives in taxes in 2016, and that the fund would be depleted in 2037 unless changes are enacted.

Some experts think the sour economy has made those numbers outdated.

“You could easily move that number up three or four years, then you’re talking about 2013, and that’s not very far off,” said Kent Smetters, associate professor of insurance and risk management at the University of Pennsylvania.
