Let's hear yours...

"I'll fire the IRS! Just because Amendment 16 grants the Congress the
power
to levy a tax on income, doesn't say they're _required_ to!

"For the taxes we'll need to collect in order to dig ourselves out of this
entitlement hole, I propose, instead of a national _income_ tax, a
national
_outgo_ tax! Don't try to track down people's income - the fat cats will
evade them every chance they get - tax what they _SPEND_!

"Of course, grocery store food, medical supplies, and pre-owned goods will
be exempt from this tax, but not fast food, restaurant food, hotel/motel
rooms, town cars, mansions, yachts, airplanes, carnival cruises, football
tickets, million-dollar necklaces for the little princess's coming-out
party,...

"And, of course, Wall Street transactions would be subject to the National
Purchase Tax at the same rate as the abovementioned yachts and stuff.

There goes the stock market. g What will you do to accumulate capital for
small, volatile, entrepreneurial startups? If there's a transaction tax each
time you get in or out, no one in his right mind would ever invest in them.
