Way to support the troops there, guy. I can tell your heart's right in there with them.

Here's an idea I came up with; might be a good issue for JFK. What do you think? I'm really pissed about paying more in taxes than 60+% of the corporations. Not more of a % of my income; more money. We need the No Representation Without Taxation Law of Ought Five. If you don't pay something in taxes (pick a suitable benchmark), you are not allowed to receive any direct or indirect federal subsidies (ag, funds for selling Campbell's tomato soup overseas), nor federal contracts, nor are you allowed any representation in DC. No lobbyists. No private meetings with Congressfolks ; has to be at open forums. They can join any industry group they wish, but any group which has even one non-taxpaying member is banned from lobbying. They should be proud to be able to pay taxes; after all, Buffet is, and he has more money than most of them. Rat
