re: #495 Dark_Falcon

WUB, that’s not even what we were arguing. Neither Reine nor I were saying there should not be taxes. All I was originally trying to say was that tax cuts are generally better than government taking money in then handing it out as subsidies.

Direct subsidies are very rare, Dark. And, as Ace pointed out, the form of it really doesn’t matter; it’s what we get back from it.

Directly subsidizing science research gains us a giant return on our money. It is money far, far, far better spent then a lot of tax breaks.
