"It took L. Paul Bremer, the U.S. administrator in Baghdad, no more than a stroke of the pen..."

Stroke of the pen, law of the land, as some Clintoon sychophant said.

All kidding aside, me & my boss (he's a total dem) are both in favor of a flat tax. I'm the bookeeper, I'm pretty sure we are right.

Almost feels that guarantees we'll never get it.

I tell him to vote Pubbie, but he won't.

I don't like the idea of a tax on income at all but it is one of those things that you can't undo. It is possible, however that it can be modified into a flat tax system that taxes all personal income at a very low rate, perhaps even 10% or less. And you have to tax everyone's personal income, even that of the poor. Those who pay no taxes are a constituency for welfare and other government giveaways because they can't see themselvs paying for it. There lies the evil side of Republican tax cuts. Each one has removed more people from the tax rolls and thus added them to the crowd that fights for entitlements and redistribution.

What does it tell you that Dems would rather die than go to a national retail sales tax?
