Switching gears. The thing we need to do is to chunk the current tax system. Implement a flat tax for individuals and the same for corporations. Or just chunk corporate taxes period. But that won't happen because the campaign contributions would dry up. The tax system in this country is used to shake down people by the politicians. That's why it will never go away. The US is a third world country when it comes to taxation. Even Russia has a better tax system than the US.
Watching these Sunday talk shows make me sick. Sick that we have foul little men like Joe Lieberman and John McCain in positions of power. They don't represent anybody but themselves and they are just in it for the money.
