Ya know, off the git go I was kind of interested in the concept but the execution has proved to be positively Clintonian.

It'll never happen but I've fallen back to the flat tax.

But while the method of taxation is a problem it's a fly on the elephants butt compared to the big problem...the beast.

You see it, I see it and most of us here see it but the effort is made to rearrange the deck chairs.

Go figure nails it.

What we really need is “spending reform”, but quite frankly, most Americans (include many FReepers) want the Government to spend, spend, spend. Any one particluar rat-hole the Feds pours billions and even trillions into has the support of a substantial number of Americans. We’re more than willing to sacrifice some other guy’s pet rat-hole, but not our own. And that’s how we got here.
