Better think again. If I risk my capital and lose it all, no one will compensate me.

Yet if I risk my capital and make $1 million, the federal government demands at least $330,000 of it. If I refuse to accede to this extortion, they will then confiscate what I have -- or worse, come armed with automatic rifles and flack jackets to arrest me for not "voluntarily" giving them a third of what I created.

That's what you are advocating. Think about it.

Inflation IS a tax. It largely went away when politicians began to suspect that the electorate was beginning to understand that.

Educators are MUCH more potent change-makers than politicians. This was Newt's big mistake.

taxes are just facts to be reckoned, like inflation
