This is well worth reading.

“Consider this: many of us agree that a flat or “fair” tax would be remarkably helpful in returning an honest and equitable revenue stream for needed federal services. Yet I think there’s no way it could happen - how many accountants would oppose it? The venal tax code assures that is is virtually impossible to prepare your taxes without the use of an expensive, controlling accountant. So the accounting industry has become a de facto component of our government.”

Using your analysis, it follows that since cities, counties and states use building codes, that engineers and architects are de facto components of our government.

I think in reality, all of the professions mentioned as often fight the government, as conform easily to it.

I do understand and am sympathetic with the point you made.

I DO believe as Reagan said, the government is the problem, not the solution.

I am of the opinion we could completely eliminate the federal Department of Education without a loss of anything, except career paper pushing government overpaid over pensioned advance degreed idiots.

However I would join a reasonable majority supporting health and safety codes that are realistic for safe drinking water, earthquake survivability, etc.

I understand where some of you are coming from. When I talk about Sharia law regarding Muslims, I think of it in the same way that Mormons are required to Tithe, or clubs will not let you in without the secret handshake.

Sharia isn’t as innocuous as a tithe or a secret handshake - you know that...

Some of it is. I’m talking about that part. The banking part would be an example. Oh, and on that subject,
