NOBODY can support the notion that taxes should be indirect and levied in amounts no larger than a government needs to manage basic public functions. And so we have a mess that will never go away.fpeachmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05131642771510680068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-69031653732437949422017-12-27T08:29:52.833-05:002017-12-27T08:29:52.833-05:00Stronginva, if you want to level the playing field...Stronginva, if you want to level the playing field, for-profit corporations should be taxed like endowments/non-profit institutions.

If not how do you propose politicians cut spending in a democracy where the public votes for its own benefits. Any one politician can go against spending, but he will not be reelected. What could anyone do to reduce spending?douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269205712944353490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-17843355538159023472017-12-26T15:10:11.156-05:002017-12-26T15:10:11.156-05:00Taxation is theft.
