Oback Arama and Taxes

I’m Oback Arama and I want to talk to you about government revenue enhancement. I’ve been all across the however many states of this great nation of ours and I’ve sensed a deep hope for change. What I want to do is change the way you think and hope about taxes. That’s change that works for me, and change that I can use..

No doubt there have been times when you’ve seen something that was unfair or something that has gone wrong and you’ve said “The government should do something about that”. I have the audacity of hope to believe that if we can put a man on Mars, then we certainly should do something about those unfair things and those things that have gone wrong. We know the battle ahead will be tough, but always remember that no matter how tough it may get, nothing can stop us if we scream “CHANGE” loud enough and often enough. Eventually our opponents will give up and say “please, please anything, but please just stop with the ‘CHANGE’ thing. I can’t take it anymore.” When that time comes, my plan will be to institute a 100% withholding tax from every person’s paycheck. Once we have paid all of the bills, we will return an amount to each and every person according to his needs. This will not only be eminently fair but it will also enable us to balance the budget, save Social Security and bring our health care up to the level of the health care in Cuba, in the former Soviet Union, and in the former German Democratic Republic. With our surplus funds, we will take care of all of those unfair things and all of those things that have gone wrong.

They may say that this day will never come; that it is a false hope; that our sights are set too high; that our country was too divided to come together around this commune purpose. But I ask you huddled masses yearning to be in a collective: “If Pol Pot could do it, can we do it?” Yes we can! Yes we Can! Yes we Can! That's why I'm running for President.
