A Republican administration proposing new taxes. Imagine that.
There are other options, but since it won't generate money for the government, they probably won't do it, but...
They could work with companies to allow more employees to work at home, be available for conference calls or web cast meetings. There's so much technology, it isn't necessary for a lot of employees to physically be at their companies every day. Explore 4-day work weeks, rotating even.
I have such a job, and it would be easy to set me up at home. I could easily do my job being onsite only once per week.
Uhg. More "all taxes is stupit" bullcrap.
Republicans need to take some time thinking about what makes a tax fair and what makes a tax unfair instead of just assuming all taxes are bad.
With the proposal to tax health insurance benefits, this, and a few other things, it's clear that Bush no longer feels the need to even pretend to be a conservative.
