Thanks.
I think it's a good idea. Or a flat tax. Or something different than what we have now. That's why I liked Ron Paul. Pull all of our troops back from overseas. Close all foreign military bases. The money saved would be enough to end payroll tax for everyone. |

A lot of folks want a simpler and better tax system that's more fair across the board but I don't think we are going to see it ej, not with our current form of government and everybody in line looking for government to take care of them. |

"everybody in line looking for government to take care of them" - including those other countries where our bases are. Even if it were within our interests to withdraw from the world (an argument for another thread), those other countries would throw a fit if we left. They may like to pretend they want us gone, but few if any of them really do. |

I know, I was trying to stay with the topic and not wander to much. |
