That's an interesting and nimble sidestep. <g> I suppose I could rephrase the question to read, what would you do if the amount of resources you had available fell below that constant level of spending you describe? But of course, I believe that dead horses should be allowed to live in peace.

I tend to think peoples' relationship with money is set relatively early in life and doesn't change much, regardless of their financial circumstances. People who are not educable have to take the consequences. When they are tired of the consequences, they will learn the intended lesson. And it should not be made someone else's responsibility to make up for their stubbornness by paying higher taxes because they invest their resources better and acquire more property which trhe state can then tax.
