So you're proposeing: (1.) Forceably take money from people who could use it to buy whatever they want/need (2.) Give it to the government, minusing away the collection fees thus lowering the purchase power of that money you took (i.e., it's not free to collect and manage the money and we'll assume that there's no corruption) (3.) Now, let's say your collected $10 of which 20% or $2 went to collection fees. So now you can buy $8 worth of apples, which pays the apple farmers, but you don't know if people even need or want apples. That's the problem with trusting the government: When a human being enters into the government, it doesn't strip away their humanness! They're just as greedy, power-hungry, and psycho as any other human. Conservatives in America used to understand that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:247456 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
