Let's get down to brass tax. Any form of taxation is theft and extortion. Let's have a sales tax on the national, state and local level. What I make, where I live and all other aspects of my life is just nobody's damn business.

Thanks for the response. I fight smoking (I'm constantly quitting and taking it up again) and I drink too much beer. Who's fault is that. MINE. I hit 60 years old later this year. I'm going to be one lean, mean, heathy guy on my next birthday. You've got to get down and tough with yourself to maintain health and happiness. We all have our devils but the onus is on all of us to control them.

Amen.
