income tax and go to a flat tax on consumption. No loopholes, no refunds,
no payments on April 15. You pay as you consume. How simple is
that?</FONT></DIV>

Deadbeats</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><BR>Paul brings up taxes;<BR><BR>I am sick of taxes. Damn, it
seems like the more I make the more just goes to the government. Just three
months ago I was paying 10% of my income in taxes, now that I got a raise, I
got to pay 20%. Who am I working for? Why does the government punish you for
working hard and getting a raise? They tax me on food, income, rent, property,
interest on savings (double tax), gas, beer, wine, tires, licensing my car,
school books, cleaning supplies, OTC drugs, and about everything else the
government can think of. <BR><BR>Why? Why doesn't the government stop taxing
everything to the point we are in poverty again? Why can't we put a limit on
the government's growth and expansion? Let some of us spend our money that WE
EARNED on our NEEDS instead of spending it on worthless pointless wars, lazy
people that won't get a job, and people that won't take responsibility for
their own actions and life. It just makes me so mad that I work so hard for
the government and lazy people.<BR><BR>NO MORE TAXES! PLEASE. I cannot stand
it anymore. I cannot afford it. <BR><BR>Here is my idea.<BR><BR>Eliminate
welfare for the non-disabled. Give them loans instead. A single mom that is
young, give her loans, when her child turns 17, she can start working and pay
them off. Why should I have to pay for her children, they are hers and the
father. Make her and the father pay it all back, with interest, and use that
money to raise the next batch of teenage pregnancies. <BR><BR>Prisoners, send
them all to the cheapest prison run states, like Alabama, Arizona, New Mexico,
and Georgia. Then make the prisons pay off the cost of imprisoning them with
labor instead of prison and working when they get out. Why should they get
free food, housing, and medical because they committed a crime? Give them
loans, then when they get out, charge for the loans, plus interest to pay for
the next batch of criminals. <BR><BR>Medical, create free trade with Canada,
Mexico, and Europe for medical supplies. This will drive the cost of medical
care way down. Couldn't you see it now? $1 for months prescription. That would
be fantastic.<BR><BR>Tell these damn Republicans, to stop taxing the living
!@#$% out of me. I should not have to pay 25-33% of my income to the
government to give away to people that are probably living better than me.
That is just
insane!<BR><BR>Best,<BR><BR>_DJA<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><B><I>Paul Rumelhart

vision2020-ites,<BR><BR>While wandering aimlessly through the internet one
day (meaning that I <BR>don't remember where I came across it), I found out
that Japan has an <BR>engine tax. The smaller and more fuel-efficient the
engine, the smaller <BR>the tax. The tax apparently ranges from about $40 to
$800 or so <BR>annually, iirc. People who own more than one car would
presumably be <BR>taxed on both. In these days of higher gas prices, global
warming, and <BR>pollution concerns, it seems to me like it could be a good
idea for our <BR>country to adopt. We could start with lower numbers and add
it in to <BR>the registration cost. That's presuming, I guess, that the
registration <BR>cost doesn't already include it. Does anyone know what that
amount is <BR>comprised of?<BR><BR>Any thoughts on this? Is it a good
idea?<BR><BR>Paul<BR><BR>=======================================================<BR>List
