JF, > That IS the problem. You want a free ride. You take the stability, the legal system, the good roads, the good police and fire, the good health care, the large military, the reliable energy, the good phone system, all the benefits for granted. They cost money. You want that shit but you want to pay 3rd world prices for it. Or put it on debt for some other generation.

What brings us all of these benefits is a strong economy. Not "country club dues." You don't tax people into a booming economy. Instead, you let the free market do its thing, and then the tax revenues will follow.

It's obvious you don't recognize that. It's much easier for you to accuse me of wanting a free ride. This as you push for higher taxes, thinking that's going to help cut spending and sustain all of our public services, a lot of which are already inefficient in its spending. That's backwards thinking mixed with stubbornness.
