>>remember collecting taxes isn't so much about supporting public spending as much as it is part of a multi-pronged approach to deny you "real" purchasing power.<<

tipster, this fits in well with the REAL game being played here. get more purchasing power for *me* than for the vast majority of other people so *my* purchasing power goes up more than others.

since the rich and powerful have the money to give to politicians, they get their view advertised a lot more.
