Amos;
I'm one concerned that the current level of corruption & influence of money - much of it foriegn - is of truly terrifying proportions (Look what it's done to intellectual property rights-patents are now truly a joke, initiated largely at the behest of the Japanese), but I do like the tax idea. Unfortunatly, I really think it'll never fly - the REALLY influential & super rich pay no real personal taxes, and are not about to start. I know some claim they pay hidden taxes through their businesses.. But..
Cheers, BK
