re: Doesn't it make sense to you that someone who pays more in taxes should have greater say in their usage than someone who pays less? It seems intuitive to me. I suppose you would have enjoyed the feudal system if you were around in the middle ages. Intuitive. John

>I'm suggesting creating a system which reflects individual financial contribution to the system. Doesn't it make sense to you that someone who pays more in taxes should have greater say in their usage than someone who pays less? It seems intuitive to me. Absolutely not. That person also derives greater financial benefit from the system. Your idea would make the rich richer and the poor poorer. -Z

"'m suggesting creating a system which reflects individual financial contribution to the system. Doesn't it make sense to you that someone who pays more in taxes should have greater say in their usage than someone who pays less? It seems intuitive to me." How many "votes" would Bill Gates and Warren Buffet end up with? Couldn't they just have a meeting a decide what the country was going to do? I don't think you'd be happy with what they decided, but I might be! They're both sorta "liberal". <g>
