nice post by Heinz there w.r.t. taxes -- I agree.

I'm basically for any and all tax cuts -- taxes are too high on everyone in the US -- it's not like they will ever cut spending -- not making the tax cuts won't reduce the deficit.

I also liked what Jimmie Rodgers said in a recent interview that was on YHOO -- taxation emphasis is backwards -- would be better if it were shifted toward consumption and not against savings as it is currently configured.

'Redistributionists' would cry foul calling it regressive, but I think it would actually be more fair and surely more conducive to capital formation

In the larger scheme of things -- monetary pumping under the system of fractional reserve banking is really hidden taxation -- until we have honest money, taxation is mostly about restricting private control of the real underlying resources, i.e. taxation is only partly to do with funding government expenditures.
