This leads to what is missing. While they seem regressivie, consumption taxes are better than payroll taxes and lower wage income taxes because they tax profit and wages equally and allow tax benefits to families to be distributed through wages as an offset to consumption tax collected. They are the money machine that makes European style social democracy possible, from real health care to family subsidies. The GOP will not even consider them. This goes way beyond prudential judgement to economic immorality. You simply cannot vote for this party. As an issue, abortion is about allowing rather than imposing. The GOP economic plan is imposing a corrupt system and it encourages abortion because it leaves many with only the option of killing the additional child. Again, DiNardo, call your office.
