I heard one proposal that things like food, shelter, clothing and medical costs be exempted from the NST It makes a certain amount of sense to me BUT - exempt one thing and Halliburton (Et al) will be right there at the door saying "But my three martini lunches *must* be exempt or the economy of the western world will crumble!" And pretty soon we'd be back in the same boat with complex rules and regulations favoring anyone who gave the big boys millions of dollars and a blow job. So I want a new tax scheme and then take congress apart brick by brick until they can't wipe their fucking ass without a two thirds of a popular majority of the country voting in favor of it. "My Constituency needa lint museum." "Two thirds of America just told you to go fuck yourself." "Alright, no Lint Museum." "You're not quite getting this..." My national tax scheme - A lottery. Billion dollar payouts each week, millions of people who can't do math sending in their bucks to fund uncle surgar It's voluntary, no one can force you to buy a ticket, it'd depends on the gullibility and mathematical illiteracy of the average american The only down side is when you give the morons in government money, they feel like they have to DO something with it And that usually rhymes with "Bend over and spread your cheeks." Maybe we could do like a crack addict and get the government a trustee. Only doles out enough money for necessities, and no more "We need the national endowment for the arts" "No, you WANT the National Endowment for the arts, but you're a crack head and need to figure out your basic priorities. We don't want you to wind up on the street turning tricks for Saudi Arabia and picking fights with Russia again, do we?" "Oh, my God, I've hit bottom." "You go talk to Bolivia an then tell me about bottoms, Mister!" Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all. that's my new political philosophy. -- Jay P Hailey ~Meow!~ MSNIM - jayphailey ; AIM -jayphailey03; ICQ - 37959005 HTTP://jayphailey.8m.com "I will not sell miracle cures." - Bart's Board _______________________________________________ Libnw mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] List info and subscriber options: http://immosys.com/mailman/listinfo/libnw Archives: http://immosys.com/mailman//pipermail/libnw
