Every Humans Basic Natural Rights Impossible for some.

When natural disasters strike such as famine, flood, tornadoes or earthquakes there is usually a high casualty level and massive property damage.

The government of more affluent countries usually have a contingency plan to assist survivors of these horrendous events to regain some control over their lives and hopefully begin to recover acceptable living conditions.

There is usually no human error to blame for the loss of human lives or property damage when the earth, the wind and/or water goes on a rampage.

Then following human intervention is generally of a positive nature – with the exception of a minority who go on a rampage of stealing and looting before law and order is restored.

Fortunately humans of this Neanderthal level of morality are seldom persons holding high level positions in government.

A vast majority of humans have a natural instinct to strive for higher levels of social order and a higher standard of personal conduct.

Evidence of that fact is provided by the change in wearing apparel from fig leaves to high fashion clothing and rules of conduct that have changed from taking anything you want from the weak on the basis of might makes right.

A very significant step -- along this march to the ideal society – is the opening paragraph of the American Declaration of Independence where it declares:-

Quote --------------------------------------------------------
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, ……
Unquote -------------------------------------------------

So at this stage of human social evolution the founders -- of the most powerful nation on earth -- believed that a primary function -- of an organized government -- was to assure that those governed would not be denied their Creator-Given rights to:- Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Apparently a sufficient number of colonials believed strongly enough -- in that concept -- so as to take up arms and fight against the perceived tyranny of the British Monarchy.

In so doing the colonists eventually won independence from British rule and to a significant degree a better life, greater liberty and a much better prospect of achieving a happy state of mind.

Events leading up to the colonial declaration of independence and the war that followed were – from the British viewpoint -- a man-made disaster.

Abuse of the colonists – to the point where they revolted against British rule – was an avoidable situation. If ordinary common sense had prevailed on the part of the British.

By what idiotic rationale did British authorities, at that time, believe they could impose unfair, unjustified, unreasonable taxes, and oppressive rules and penalties on the colonists with impunity?

It appears the Canadian government has failed to learn from the declaration of independence history lesson and there must be a few Neanderthal thinkers in positions of power in our government.

How else can anyone explain their creating and tolerating tax legislation that imposes huge, abusive, unwarranted, unjustified devastating, punitive, insidious and unfair tax levies on ordinary hard-working Canadians?

Currently invoking rules and penalties on these victims that equal or even surpass those that caused the colonists in America to revolt.

Until now this man-made disaster has been endured because those victimized have been too isolated and too intimidated to become a force to be reckoned with.

Times have changed. Victims are joining forces via the World Wide Web and making their abuse known throughout the Nation and beyond.

A victims group has already been organized under the name:- “Canadians for Fair and Equalized Taxation”, (CFET), and have created a web page:- http://www.cfet.ca whereby web visitors can become informed regarding this obnoxious and disastrous tax policy.

And the CFET group has made it easy for you to e-mail your Member of Parliament to voice your support of the CFET Fair Taxation objective.

Merely copy and paste the following link to the address line on your web browser and send the prepared text over your own e-mail identity.

Every Canadian should receive as much concern and consideration from their own government as their government bestows upon victimized citizens of other countries.
