If you want less of something, you should tax it. And what do we do in America?

We tax income. -- We tax investment. -- We tax savings. -- We tax productivity.

Your Nightmare inanely replies:

There would't be any income, investment, savings, or productivity if there wasn't consumption.

Consume wisely! -- Save and invest what you can.

Your Nightmare inanely again:
If everyone did that we would have terrible returns on our investments.

Always Right chimes in:

So you think an economic depression is a good thing? If people reduce their consuption, the economy goes in the toilet.

You two are so frantic to defend the status quo that you forget our present tax structure is insane.
Our Republic is in an economic toilet, and you fellas are in there too, with your eyes shut, blindly blowing bubbles in sewage you see as 'a good thing'.

Wake up and smell the stink of income tax socialism.

Our Republic is in an economic toilet,

Exaggerate much?

Wake up and quit smelling your own farts, tpaine. The rest of the world is going FLAT TAX and it is working, so why risk the entire US economy on an idea that hasn't even undergone peer review by economists?
