I think it is unfair and unconstitutional. I understand that laws and an admendment has been passed, but I believe they are contrary to a free market, capitalistic, republic. Tarrifs outta be enough to handle our budget, and if it isn't perhaps the government should stop funding things it has no business in (Medicare, Social Security, Welfare, etc). Government is here to protect basic rights, not engage in social legislation.<BR/><BR/>However, since I'm just dreaming and no thanks to FDR and Johnson, we will never go back. I would settle for higher property taxes (Alabama could double theirs and still be under the national average), a flat tax (not graduated income, not to mention gov has no right to tax our income regardless of the 1913 admentment, that was meant to be temporary), and little to no sales tax.<BR/><BR/>Ok, I will go mumble in the corner to myself now, but one more thought, to say that we are just like Russia shows a nice parrallel that should make us ask questions, but to seriously think that makes us just like Russia is a joke. However, if we think we are a democracy we should think again.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139891987615911595noreply@blogger.com
