There WILL be taxes. The problem is, who pays them? In the past, taxation in America taxed corporations and the wealthy much more than at present. The logic was, they benefited the most, and should be taxed the most, to promote the greatest good for the greatest number. We'd ALL like to pay no taxes. A huge portion of our taxes support our bloated military, that costs more than the rest of the world's combined. SS seems to go for a worthy cause, and welfare has been pared to mainly keeping infants from starving. Cut the military until we're in balance. Force them to cut needless weapons systems, like our ridiculous nuclear arsenal. Get Russia to do the same.
