I think about this a lot and not just as relates to the tax code. Let me get back to you. I can't believe the majority would choose what we have if they were not so terribly ignorant. Twice I have thought to appeal to close associates in regard to these issues but have pulled back -- not sure why.

so why do we* put up with this...* Excellent question!! If you believe as I do that there is no longer any citizen representation, that Washington is essentially a foreign land whose self-interests directly oppose American citizens... ... then the only solution is work to throw out as many Washington politicians as possible in Congress and Executive Branch. The alternative is difficult to contemplate. Due to complete one-party control elections are purely ceremonial and greater taxes and a $10 trillion debt load will be the gift. "Musical chair" investing is what we're reduced to, shifting nervously between deteriorating asset classes as political policies suck the workforce dry to feed short-term elite opportunism. $10 trillion among 100 million households is $100,000 per household... Gee, and you thought you only had to work to pay off your house mortgage. Well, your taxes will soon have to pay interest on the new, improved Reaganesque Debt of the coming years.
