Fair assessment. The FT doesn't make the government spend less or get smarter. It's one step. No more, no less.
I see it as the iceberg, and what you see of the bill, and the 'ad nausem' spin, is not one iota more than what they want you to see.
I'm not feeling the analogy.
Here is how I see it: The FT takes the same amount of our money as the IRS. We don't have to work as hard for it. Your one and only tax form fits on a post card, and you don't have to file it if you don't want to.
That is a gain. It will not cut government spending. That is a separate fight. Fix revenues first and spending next. That's all I'm sayin'.
You’ll only gain the ‘right’ to work for less, and have 30% of the remainder ripped out of your hide when you spend one thin dime of it...
Not a ‘fair’ deal to me, not by a long shot.
