I live in Michigan, and I remember when a local man was fined a few hundred dollars for swearing whilst falling out of a boat.
Anyways, I am not opposed to a progressive tax system, or a flat tax system which gives certain breaks to people who earn less. Even though most of my views can be described as libertarian, I am also a pragmatist. I think the government should provide health care, education and other such things. I do, however, disagree with how these problems should be solved. I rarely, if ever, advocate solving these problems through government programs. For example, I advocate a consumer-subsidized school system in lieu of the producer-subsidized system we currently have.
