—the donkeys who are upset about the way our taxes are being used by the federal government are putting the cart before the donkey.
—without sweeping tax reform that spreads the monetary burden of running the country across a much broader percentage of Americans, the Freeloaders will never care about responsible spending because the money being wasted is not their money.
—without sweeping tax reform that spreads the monetary burden of running the country across a much broader percentage of Americans, the Myrmidon Donkeys on Capitol Hill and in the White House will care about only one thing: spending money in ways that make the Freeloaders happy. And making Freeloaders happy is a very bad idea for any nation that cares about its future. Why? Because human nature is what it is: if you can be happy as a Freeloader, why be a donkey?
These points, the Tired Donkey asserts, cannot be honestly debated. So. What the country needs is happy donkeys and sad Freeloaders, but what the country has is exactly the opposite. There are two quick ways to get from here to there, both of which the Tired Donkey heartily endorses: (1) remove the right to vote in federal elections from anyone who does not pay federal income taxes, or (2) remove the right to vote from anyone who does not own land. Unfortunately, neither of these things has even a remote chance of happening. So we must look elsewhere, and the process is going to be a long one. The steps we will follow are set out below. And don’t worry: the Tired Donkey will discuss each of these in depth in the coming weeks:
—change the national debate so that it focuses on fairness to donkeys;
—release the Stockholm Donkeys from the thrall of the Freeloaders;
—teach the Freeloaders to feel shame;
—harness these changes to strike fear in the venal hearts of the Myrmidon Donkeys; and, finally,
—spread the tax burden.
The Tired Donkey understands that this sounds fantastical. But he assures you it is possible. Stick with him, and he will show you the way. And please start saving for Tired Donkey Week.
