Ted No matter how many times I tell you it doesnt sink in. I have no problem with the concept of taxes. In fact I pay quite a large amount of taxes. Something that about 1/2 of my fellow countrymen don't do (at least income taxes). Because I want the government to manage the money I and others provide in a fiscally responsible way before I give them more seems logical to me. Because I would like to retain as much of the money that I earn is logical. I will gladly give my fair share to the govt but I expect that they will use it responsibly. That often is not the case IMHO. I am suspect at those that cry "more taxes" because I suspect that they are ones that will not be paying more taxes. What they really want is others to pay more taxes. But not them. I and others have suggested to those on this thread crying for higher taxes to voluntarily start paying those higher tax rates. The Govt will be glad to accept your donation. Who here has done it? Regards Neil
