Itchi,

I would rather see a fair tax based on consumption. Want that big boat, ok, Uncle Sam is going to take 25% of the cost. You could then choose the level of taxes by how much crap you just have to have.

"Here are some words NOT in the pledge: (1)"

Which is why they have the part in the Pledge on reforming Congress so that bills have to be justified with a line of authority from the Constitution to keep Congress away from the Shit you listed that is not within their authority. If you want government that gets into that Shit, complain to your state legislature or your governor. Why do we pay those pieces of crap to sit in the state houses and look to DC for handouts and to take on the tough issues that they are too afraid of?
