“”””How much affect do you think term limits and/or a set form of taxation (such as the Flat Tax or the Fair Tax) would have had on our progression through Sir Tyler’s categories?”””
No way to know. Our forms (plural) of Government have become far too complex - neighborhoods, towns, counties, states and Federal. Where did it begin and where does it end? We are taxed into submission and reduced to standing around (Katrina)waiting for the mayor, the Governor and the President to make decisions for us - only because we have been coerced and controlled into believing that we are helpless children.
What happened to American dignity, honor, and ingenuity?
Your comments about government becoming too complex are right on the money.
There are time when I’m glad I’m an old fart. I really feel sorry for the kids coming up. Their future is none too bright :(
