Now if I were in charge ...

Well, lets ponder this...

Would you be better at it than, say, a certain current _resident in a white hut on Penn Ave in the Distruct of Columbia?

Were you born in this country of citizen parents?

Do you have any problem calling evil evil?

Is it the government's money or is it our money?

Do you think beavers should be able to construct their dams without being subject to governmental regulations?

... ?

We could probably get a NNB PAC up and running...

The afore-mentioned beaver would be better at it than that guy.

I'm probably too old to be a contender; nearly as old as Hillary!

(I'll be seven next week. At least, the way I count it.)

"Is it the government's money or is it our money?"

The government has no money. All they do is distribute their ill-gotten gains to their fellow supporters.

I'd have trouble supporting the government, because I'd have trouble justifying their means of earning income. We could use tariffs and excise fees, and charge for various licenses and such.

In the end, I'd have to demand tribute from producers, just as landlords demand rent from tenants. I'd likely institute a "rule of thumb", which means asking for twenty percent of farm production and the profit of various industries.

Depending on how much "infrastructure" and national defense demanded, there should be a large surplus from this tribute, which would get plowed back in to the national economy in one way or another.

I'm picturing James Kirk's demand for "A Piece of the Action", and getting the Feds cut in for a payout.
