Pay as you go. Well that is a logical alternative to economic growth. Is it okay, though, if I choose not to agree with it? <g> That would sure lower the tax rate wouldn't it? Well, I'm trying to run the scenario through my mind and I have yet to figure out how it would impact our taxes. For one, pay as you go would leave people essentially buying only that which they need and could pay cash for. There certainly wouldn't be much of a market for houses (we'd all be renting), and gas prices would go through the floor since most of us would be walking. I'm sorry. I think that most people reading this thread would concur that an all cash society would be rather difficult to fathom, let alone participate in. Btw, I hate paying tolls. Especially the Jersey Turnpike!! Regards, Ron
