It's almost midnight on Wednesday, I just came back from gym and am wrapping up my diary for Tuesday.
So many people tried to get home earlier to watch GOP Presidential Candidate Debate on FOX, but I arrived at home half an hour late. I still don't know what they had been arguing in the first 30 minutes but happened to catch my most interesting topic - taxes. These guys are competing for the top leader of the most powerful government in the world and taxes may be the most key component of fiscal policy.
Today, I read several articles online, which discredited every candidate's tax plan, so I don't need to elaborate too much. Basically, their plans can't have US government running. As we all know, Republicans love complete free market, tax reductions and small government. This actually would make the entire national economic system imbalance. Just like I tweeted last night, free market meant to have more wealth generated, tax revenue will be much higher and a powerful government needs to be run to manage the flows. The nature of free market is competition and it could become pretty brutal, weak government wouldn't be able to direct the entire economy sufficiently. If taxes can't be used to minimize the inequalities, the society may become unstable.
I didn't watch the debate through the end because of falling into sleep pretty badly. When I woke up, it's already 3:00 o'clock in the morning. I had a bad dream, which was probably caused by a scared memory on last Saturday: After having lunch at New Star, I drove onto 4th Ave on which three lanes were blocked due to construction. When I tried to get over the intersection, the traffic light suddenly became yellow and I should have sped up but stepped on the brake. The road was very wet due to the rain, I realized I wasn't able to stop the car and released the brake to get through anyway. After doing it, I was a bit scared if the people started passing after seeing me trying to stop the car, I might have hit them. The good thing was everyone followed the traffic rule, so didn't start walking then.
