If you want less of something, you should tax it. And what do we do in America?

We tax income. -- We tax investment. -- We tax savings. -- We tax productivity.

Wise words on an "old adage". --

Incredible that such a basic point has been so totally ignored for over two hundred years.

Consume!

We tax income. -- We tax investment. -- We tax savings. -- We tax productivity.

There would't be any income, investment, savings, or productivity if there wasn't consumption.
