“My view on taxes : make them visible and make ‘everyone’ pay them, not just a small % of public. You want voters to learn that all the spending they demand comes at a cost TO THEM.”

Right. And no more taxes withheld from paychecks - send everyone a quarterly bill from Uncle Sam, and another from their state.

Before long there would be a tax revolt.

RE :"Right. And no more taxes withheld from paychecks - send everyone a quarterly bill from Uncle Sam, and another from their state. Before long there would be a tax revolt."

That was what I was getting at and I have proposed the above myself many times, let me add: "..send everyone a quarterly bill from Uncle Sam which they have to mail back with a check or supply a credit card or bank account number (automatic payments) and make payment within 30 days or pay late fees."

Of course not even congressional Republicans want that. I had a freeper once tell me he didnt want the government to be forced to limit spending because Democrats might cut Republican (his) desired spending first when they have control of DC, that was a couple of years ago though 2009.
