btw...i would much rather see my tax money being spent on a constructive rethinking of our national addictions than many of the other things that are being done with it.
i have no problem with social safety nets either...it is reasonable that a society establish protections for its people, whether all need it or not.
how many poor does it take to make a man rich i wonder?
i dont like the abuse of it either but i think that strides have been taken to repair welfare and other programs and that they will continue to be revamped.
they were put in place for a reason and we have done pretty well with them so far.
and no, i am not a commie. i believe in a flat tax and a fixed national sales tax.
the flat tax levels the playing field without leveling the players and the national sales tax gives the government inspiration to promote commerce. by making it fixed, it is like putting the government on a budget.
i believe that these should be written to a constitutional amendment and ratified. set percentage. period. make due with it...make it work.
just an aside. sorry.
(another thing that i would do if i were king for a day)
