"Otherwise, we'd just end up with another layer of taxation." Of course. Another level of taxation is the goal. Look at Canada - here we come. Then look at the other aspects of Canada - and wonder how we can afford what they do. 1. We sell a million bpd of oil to who? 2. We have a single armed service branch - nope - not yet? It is a very legitimate question if the US can be Canada. Can you imagine - kissing the US Marine Corp goodbye? Bob
