Thanks Jay, an excellent report, as always, and very germane Just imagine if California had the same relationship w. Mother US Gov't, paying something for it's "garrison" here, and forget the rest of the pay-them-so-they-can-pay-us-back nonsense. I cannot find any argument against any tax system that so simple to understand, easy to account for, and focus in its use Agreed, and while not perfect it has much to aspire to. Steve Forbes would be proud. THREAD: I asked Jay to compare the most free-market place I could think of, to stimulate some further perspective on taxes/education/housing prices, etc., since this is a topic of complexity and interest. The best way to get perspective IMO is to look for models that seem to actually work, or at least work differently, rather than get stuck in circular logic. (The same with medical system issues, Switzerland is a good comparison) This is my favorite part, re income tax - "Our tax form is one page long"
