One could only wish!!

Unfortunately a few folks'll have to get off there duffs if we are to see some action.

There seems to be abit of a perception problem out there with most focusing on just the individual income tax as representative of the world. That creates alot of inertia and a requirement to educate alot of folks.

Even the icons of the conservative world tend to have and foster that tunnel vision.

According to the most recent U.S. Treasury Department figures, ... the top 50 percent ($36,000 and over) paid 96 percent of income taxes. Guess what the bottom 50 percent of income earners paid?
If you're among those who pay little or no federal income taxes, what do you care about tax cuts? Moreover, if you think tax cuts pose a threat to government handout programs, you might be openly hostile and support Al Gore's silly "risky scheme" talk. So many Americans paying little or no federal taxes makes for a natural spending constituency. It's like me in the restaurant: What do I care about extravagance if you're footing the bill?

It is no wonder that 70% of the public clamors for more from government believing someone else to foots the bill.

That is alot of inertia to overcome, we cannot be satisfied with just writing the Congress Critter and hoping for the best. We must take an active roll in learning about the advantages in the alternatives to the current system, and educating our families, neighbors, and associates across all the paths of our lives to reach those willing to work for changes.

We can do it, but we must reach out to everyone, trying to reach a substantive portion of those who vote, and especially those who contribute to the campaigns.

Less than 50% of the voting age population votes. Of that 50% we need only a substantial plurality waking up and desiring change enough to work at it and push on their representatives. 26% of adults can change the makeup of the entire congress and presidency. A much smaller number can effect a tilt into that 26% & hit hard where it counts, the Congress Critter's war chest.

Convince just some of the voters, and reach the contributers it will and can happen.
