Steve you shouldn't be so darn irritable. Doesn't help the hypertension at all. (G) I see you're posting on threads, those dandies over at Vfc don't even think about. :-) That's a good thing, Steve! While I'm not a numbers person, how about a flat tax (say in the neighborhood of 15%) with a surcharge of a few points that has a built in expry of 2-4 years.? The concept isn't new for sure, but it would bring a level of equity back to those of us that are priviledged to be paying taxes. And it would bring new revenues. Yes, I voted for Bush (because I thought him to be the lesser of two evils (and, I was correct)). But he spent money like he was still the president of a major league baseball team in Dallas. Personally I feel there are many Repubs who wouldn't mind paying additional taxes, IF JUSTIFIED. Too many equate excessive government spending with a NO NEW SPENDING/TAXES. IMO spending cuts doesn't necessarily translate into tax cuts.
