republi-CON brainwashing and what we can do about it:

3. I think that is an excellent idea.

People should know how the consequences of tax cuts will affect the quality of all our lives.

While educating voters about why the should pay taxes, we should also make the them very aware of the many people that currently pay little or no taxes. We should start awareness campaigns about how little revenue we get from corporate taxes. How much money that could have gone into our economy if the billions of dollars currently being sent to off shore tax havens was kept and taxed here in the US.

Another one of the main issues we should educate the voters about how much of our tax money goes to support the low paid workers of companies like Walmart that under pay and over work all their employees. I read read reports from different reputable sites and organizations that track these things and found that it costs the US tax payer an average of $1000.00 to subsidize each worker through medicaid when they do not get insurance, food stamps and subsidizing housing such as section 8.

The tax breaks we give to oil companies who make billions of dollars of profit is ridiculous. The billions of dollars that tax exempt institutions get every year is so very wrong. I personally do not wish to subsidize religious institutions that use my tax dollars to promote their political agendas such as gay marriage. Why are they not penalized. Personally I do not wish to subsidize them in any circumstances but I do not see that happening.

The average voter has no idea how many dollars go to such undeserving causes and a really well presented awareness campaign would certainly pay off.
