Final-Fan is right about corruption. It would be hard to keep people from bartering or just out right buying things under the table. But aside from that, I think it's a good idea.

Oh, and it's not my idea. I shared a cab ride once, on the way to the airport from a tax convention, with the head accountant from Disney. It was his idea. I am guessing he knows more about the economy then both you and I combined.

I was skeptical of the idea at first, but he made some very good points. Sadly, I was flying first class, and due to the free alcohol, I can't remember all the talking points :p

 

Lol, its alright, I forgive you.  Any idea can sound good under the right circumstances, and you have to look pretty far ahead to see the complications of this one.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
