I agree. We pay too much.

We should all give our theories on Gore's exit strategy.

I think he will claim 50-50 chance of winning until the FSC says no to his latest request. He is listening to no reasonable Democrat - because they all want him to give it up, he is hurting their chances.

Finally, finally, he will concede, claiming he was listening to what the "people" wanted in pursuing this, that all they wanted was for their votes to count.

I think the only way the average Joe six pack..please note play on beer talk, would have taxes hit home, would be to have his whole paycheck handed to him, and then slowly but surely take back every dollar that is paid out in taxes.

He might THEN understand the reason for getting the government's hand out of his paycheck would be a good thing.

We could also talk about the fact that we are overtaxed and in need of some relief.

That could be fun!

But the first question I would have is: How do you know that you are overtaxed? That's not a facetious question, nor does it imply a position one way or another on my part. If you can provide an answer to the question easily, I suspect you may not understand the intent of the question.
