"however, if the EX-Soviet Union can pass a 15% Flat Tax"

That is sometihng, ain't it?
Mud,
Sometime I'll tell you about a Russian exchange student that I and my (ex)wife hosted in 2000. After having this kid in my house for almost a year, I don't hold out much hope for Russia, if he is representative of Russians. He thought Sodom Insane was A-OK, among other things...

OUCH!!! Fact is, though, young'uns are largely a product of their environment and Russian TeeVee is still largely state-owned and the official Russian position is that Baby-Killers like Soddom are hunky-dory. Also, unless a child was raised in a family wherein the parents LOATHED Socialism, it would be hard to overcome the brainwashing that hadta have been beaten into their heads via the public education system and the culture at large. However, if you were able to overcome the brainwashing to become the FReeThinker you are today, I hold out hope for Formerly Brainwashed Socialists accross the Globe!!

Yer a Role Model, FBD!!
