Yeah good point on the taxes. Maybe I could amend that to a system with a bit more in taxes...but if we're running a surplus, then the extra money is given back to the citizens. And yeah it would be interesting to see some of these in practice. Because some things like school vouchers look so good on paper, and even worked in test areas (Washington DC did some successfully a while back, or has charter schools or whaterver...I don't remember exactly) but would be cool to see if it works nationwide. |
That's exactly what got us into this mess. Politicians in the very early 1900's thought "Well, if we could just get a little more money through taxation, then..." and here we are 100 years later.
The government seemed to manage just fine without the income tax prior to 1913.
I might also add that I find the federal income tax to be tantamount to theft. It basically says that the government owns our money and merely allows us to keep some of it. Wherea in actuality, things could be paid for just fine through excises, toll fees, and other means without scraping their unreasonable percentage off the top of all our paychecks for the "priviledge" of taking care of us from cradle to grave. Meh.
The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
