Here's an idea that will send liberal skin crawling: flat tax rate, across the board. Cutting off at the poverty line of course. Not that I'm encouraging slackers, but yes, some people work hard and still have trouble making ends meet. This progressive tax is a joke. Why punish those who are successful and enterprising by giving them a higher tax bracket? Wait until Akula joins the workforce and sees just how much they take. I've had paychecks where more than half my earnings were taken. You take it from here, Bill, I need some caffeine. Remember, Akula expects us to detail our assertions, even though he seems to be exempt from doing so himself, And I know there's much more that can be said.

Out of curiosity - how would you educate people, build a transportation system, and police your country? Or would you have them learn what they think is important without any standards, build their own roads if they needed them, and deny that that society needs to be regulated?
