My prediction... if we overhall the taxcodes, we’ll all pay more taxes when it’s done. That’s the way life is. Once the government starts collecting taxes, they don’t quit. They might call it fair, or flat, or sales, or consumption. But it’s always more.
You are exactly right. We are attacking the carnivore at the wrong end. It would be better to severly limit the government’s ability to spend. No matter how much tax is collected, they are willing to spend whatever they wish. Thus the defecit. NO MORE GOVERNMENT RUN SOCIAL PROGRAMS, PLEASE!!!
