re: #66 bluecheese

It keeps taking a bigger, and bigger chunk out of my fucking paychecks.

Mine just went up goddammit.

The system is broken - why can’t we do what’s been proven to work.

If you’ve lived in Europe, you would understand that they are taxed to death. Would you pay a tax on each room in your house? This is why the typical house over there does not have closets, because that would count as a ‘room’ for tax purposes. This is why they use amoires. Would you pay a tax on each and every TV and radio that you own, to include your clock radio by your bed? Would you pay a tax on the chimney on your house? How about VAT?

You think that you have a big chunk taken out now, but at least you currently have choices. What you advocate will take a ‘big chunk’ out of your paycheck and we will STILL have an unsolvable debt and huge deficits each fiscal year.
