MAV, you must be aware that we pay much less in taxes than any other industrialized nation on earth.

No, really? You think 45% is too low?

What about the "hidden" taxes?

Now, explain to me how you would run the country without taxes

You wouldn't, but why the hell would you want to tax the sweat of your brow, or your "own" house?

You could at least be taxing the spending habits of the ultra-rich and drug dealers.

Dubbya keeps chirping his mindless mantra.."I trust the people, it's your money, it doesn't belong to Washington, etc. well, damn it man, it's our money, yes, it is also our social security, our military, our education our highways etc. who the hell is going to pay for all the services we demand without taxes

Well, they're going to collect over $5 Trillion more than needed to pay for all that stuff, and he can't get the liberals (including your two lovely ladies) to give back $1.6 Trillion. Meaning they're still going to BLOW $3.4 Trillion.

Mindless mantra, you mean like "risky tax scheme", "for the children", "gravitas", "tax cut for the rich" etc.
