George, you say: <<Under the tax and spend policies of BOTH major parties, billions will be taken away both from individuals and corporations to be pissed away on payoffs to contributors,friends, and in buying public support thru funding popular but unsound programs. Change will come faster if people use all legal methods to reduce their taxes.>>
Hold on a moment. Wasn't your favorite molecule discovered at a taxpayer-supported institution of higher learning funded principally by the federal taxpayer? Or did you merely have in mind the taxpayer-supported programs you don't use --like highways, clean water, clean meat, electricity generating dams, federally backed student loans, Social Security, Medicare, defense, home mortgage insurance, SEC regulation, FDIC, Small Business Loans, Federal Emergency Assistance, custom control etc. etc. etc.
Ever lived in a lower-tax country? Like Indonesia? Guatemala? Burmuda (outside the tourist zone)?
I suppose you're right when it comes to the hot lunch program though. Why can't those worthless little beggars eat cake like the rest of us? Or at least Wendy's, to help out my portfolio? As for federally funded urban transportation, airport control, and the like, to hell with 'em. Everybody oughta be driving a Chrysler -- the epitome of a self-reliant corporate giant that never soaks the taxpayer. Right? |
