Eliminating the income tax would be wonderful, revolutionary, liberating, but in a time of enormous and rapidly increasing government spending and huge equally enormous deficits, it would probably require politically impossible (and possibly practically impossible, since cheating would become too attractive) rates of consumption tax and user fees. Imagine income and sources of income being none of the business of governments.. Best regards, Spehro Pefhany -- "it's the network..."

... Nick Hull wrote: Sales tax might collect as much as the income tax, but it is never as bad as the income tax. Actually, it is worse because it is _hidden_. As far as I'm aware, in all U.S. states with sales tax, prices marked on items are still the pre-tax price, so it's very obvious to the purchaser when they actually go to check-out just how much the tax they're paying is. I do agree that the method used in other countries -- "GST included" -- does hide what's going on and is not good for the people. In the U.S. gas prices are always advertised including taxes; I suspect this is done because gasoline taxes are such a large percentage of the purchase price. ---Joel Kolstad |

People buy goods transported on I80, right? Does that mean that they themselves have to drive on it? They benefit from a shared piece of infrastructure that they may never themselves directly use. No, the people who pay for the truckers' deisel fuel pay for it. Yes. What exactly is it I'm "not getting"? The part where you, as a consumer, go from paying for the roads through taxes, to under your plan, being you the consumer paying for the roads through higher prices to pay for the taxes. You're not gaining me anything, you're just making my money go through an extra set of hands in the process. Extra set of hands? The present system of sending the money through the IRS to Congress, lumping it into a big pile, then trickling it back down through the Dept. of Transportation and to the states is about as indirect as it could possibly be. And, there's no guarantee that any particular amount will wind up being spent on the roads. In fact, your plan would cause prices to rise, which in the sort-term at least would be taking money out of my pocket. You're already paying it in income tax, but while they've got your money, they're spending *most* of it on lots of other things you probably wish they wouldn't. A road-use tax (e.g. fuel tax) covering at least part of the cost of the roads has several advantages. One is 'feedback': the more roads are used (and worn), the more maintenance money they get. Sort of a self-correcting, self-centering quality that keeps them up. It makes them self-tending, in an indirect sort of way. Another advantage is that it's much easier to keep track of the money as it goes from the tax directly to the road. Try tracking that trail through Congress now! Another advantage is that these factors ensure the money winds up actually supporting the roadways. Currently, it's all annually at Congress' whim. Politically, it's a way to pay for the things we all agree on, while preserving your freedom to argue with the other uses the government might choose for your taxes. No thanks. There's a lot to be said in favor of making the roadways at least partially self-supporting, and ditto for a number of other items. Regards, James Arthur |

Mythbusters just tackled the ****ing on the third rail question. Short version: you don't have the flow needed to conduct. That said, I still wouldn't do it. But, was the rail on the ground, or up closer to the head of yer pecker? I can see that on a long stream, it would start to break apart. But on a short stream close up to the source, like electric wires are hung, that it would be possible to get a connection. But, like you say, I will let others find out. And I guess I can forget about the time my friend peed on one and got shocked. He was pretty close to it. I guess, according to Mythbusters, I really didn't see and hear what I saw and heard.

FEDERAL income tax doesn't pay for your schools and roads (mostly), it pays for pork. This country got along without a federal income tax for a long time, the Government convinced the people to vote one in as a temporary measure, then the Government just kept forgetting to stop the temporary measure and we get the system we have today.

I know several people who do this and it works well when the parents are properly motivated and the kids are up to it. The thing is, Nick, that you benefit from the money spent on public schools regardless of if you have a student there, just as you benefit from roads you don't yourself drive on. and all the FDA does is keep me from getting the medicine I really need. The FDA certainly isn't perfect, that's for sure. But I think it's better than the snake-oil situation that seems to have existed before they arrived on the scene. |

There's no way I benefit from "public" schools, since I'm childfree. Part of the problem is paying teenage girls to produce *******s.

I miss the snake oil, it worked better than today's allopaths. I just want the right to determine what goes into or comes out of my body. I don't need some self-appointed (or "duly elected"(erected?)) "official" dictating what I can do or not do. (as long as I don't harm others, yadda yadda.) Whose property am I? Whose property are you? Are your elected "officials" smarter, or wiser, than you? Howcome humans, supposedly the most highly evolved species on the planet, need some authoritarian to tell us what we can and can't eat? Do God's creatures in the wild need some pseudo-scientist lording it over them, telling them what's "good for them"? OF COURSE NOT! But the sheeple seem to have abandoned Free Will and common sense in favor of obeisance and the illusion of security. Feh! Rich -- "We have met the enemy and he is us." - Pogo Possum |

Come on, admit it- This is something you've always wanted to try . ********** Pocket Taser Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife? This was submitted by a guy who purchased his lovely wife a "Pocket Taser" for their anniversary. Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 22nd anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Toni. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were suppose to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety.... WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two triple-a batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arch of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. Awesome!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Toni what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave. Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-a batteries,. right?!!! There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong? So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, taser in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries. All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4" in circumference; pretty cute really and loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-a batteries thinking to myself, "no possible way!" What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best..... I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head ****ed to one side as to say, "don't do it master," reasoning that a one-second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad.. I decided to give myself a one-second burst just for the heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and HOLY MOTHER, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION@!@$$!%!@*!!! I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs. The cat was standing over me making meowing sounds I had never heard before, licking my face, undoubtedly thinking to herself, "do it again, do it again!" Note: If you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a taser, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one-second burst when you zap yourself. You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor. A three second burst would be considered conservative. SON-OF-A-.. that hurt like hell!!! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. How did they up get there??? My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I'm still looking for my testicles? I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return. Still in shock **************** H. Amazing. 10 minutes laughing, i still hurt. Too bad you lived, you cannot qualify, you have not removed yourself from the gene pool. I cannot imagine what our spouse might say, perhaps she will remove you from the gene pool. -- JosephKK Gegen dummheit kampfen die Gotter Selbst, vergebens. --Schiller |
