Mike I'm only commenting on more votes for the wealthy. I can understand the concept but I'm sure you understand that human nature being what it is how impractical this would be.<< if you put contribution limits on all politicians, what would be so wrong with having the tax payers directly represented in the goverment>> If the wealthy are favored by politicians and have multiple votes voting as a block they would have much more than a say in the government they would control the government. Not good. <<I'm liberatarian in terms of markets and taxation, 1970's democrat on social policy.>> It would appear to me that these two concepts would be some what incompatible. How would you pay for 70's social policies? IMO the libertarian concepts are more attractive in terms of philosophy than actually working in the real world. Clearly pure libertarian taxation theory put into practice would grow the economy.But would you really want to see the vast disparity in wealth that would result? pez
