Yes, but here's the problem I have with what Gel and Dana have been saying and/or implying (correct me if I've misunderstood): Somebody has to pay to help Granny out. So when somebody says they don't what to be rich, but do want Granny off the street, they're really saying they want somebody else to pay for it. However, where I think Dana is going is to say that she already pays her taxes - plenty to help out Granny - it's just that they're being misallocated. If that's all true, then I agree. Get rid of farm subsidies and pay for Granny. In fact, wouldn't it be refreshing if a Presidential candidate put out a list of all of the things taxes should be used for and promised, if elected, to veto funds for anything else? That'd be awesome. Assuming they followed through. I bet an Alaskan bridge wouldn't be on that list. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:191562 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
