Terry, >>it ain't easy to just walk out your door and just shoot a buffalo anymore. <g/ng> I do not know about the rest of you, but I can go out in my back yard and shoot a deer most days. <g> This is true for a large number of people in Minnesota.

But unless you're prepared to let the poor eat cake, or maybe you instead, we got to do some sharing ... It has nothing to do with my or anyone else's willingness to share (something I have always done in abundance). Having grown up exceedingly poor, I can assure you the poor would rather have jobs and feed themselves than take handouts (even if they don't know it yet). When the taxation level reaches the point that it has a dampening effect on the economy then you are taking away the conditions for people to feed themselves. At what level is taxation too high? Is it never too high or do you have an idea at what level you'd say it is too high? Surely you've given this some thought, what is an acceptable level of taxation to you?
