Wouldn’t it be great if those who want Big Government telling them what do do from before birth until after death would have to pay for it themselves. The Big Government Security Tax wouldn’t last very long if the rest of us could opt out.
Where are the intelligent people who just want government to take care of its narrow Constitutional duty of protecting citizens from enemies, both foreign and domestic? We should be able to figure out a way to exempt ourselves from the ravages of Democrat/Republican government control, just as Congress exempts itself from Obamacare and other legislation they have passed. Exemptions for all or for none!
My plan: If you like “sharing the wealth” you sign up for Plan A which involves putting all of your money in the pot. The government then divides it equally among all Plan A participants (minus a “small” service charge to support its vast bureaucracy, of course). If you sign up for Plan B, you keep what you make and pay your own way. No taxes, no subsidies.
