<<Actually, I do not think that there should be any payroll or income taxes for anyone>> OB, agreed, taxes on capital and corporations should be enough ... (It's always better to tax the rich than to eat them - bg)

Obl, when their businesses (not necessarily Bill and Warren, who have smarter business minds than the average owner) are threatened by high priced oil, they demand we steal oil from some defenseless country. And some poor Americans get killed in the process, a fairly high tax to pay. The wealthy choose which politicians go to Washington, so they get welfare for their cos. Every decent bill has some rider that is a handout for a large co. Only when it is so obviously thievery, such as the latest Philip Morris brouhaha, does the public wake up and say "huh?" But, then again, perhaps they are like James Bond in "Thunderball": "He needs more, so he gives less." <G>
