I want to kill someone now.

I'm supposed to work at my job and go on with my daily life, with things like this happening?

Rant away (and I'm flattered you wanted to share that).

I do think a lot of the things I'm in favor of ought to be paid by the taxpayer. I also think the tax-structure ought to be completely revamped; a throwback to something like the 50s.

I think that, if we are going to use the tax code as a way to change social structures through the use of incentives, we need to make it a good that one closes the gap between top and bottom.

I want to see some of the inequities of time reversed (such as the problem in Calif. that property is only assessed for tax when it changes hands, so a lot of businesses (which put more strain on the infrastructure than residences) are paying taxes on property which was last assessed in 1978, while the people who are supplying the water, fire, medical, police, etc. for them are paying on the 2000 value of their land.

I want to see corporations paying for things, not getting billions of dollars in kickbacks; through tax-breaks, while the state of Washington can't pay its bills (right now Wash. loses; because of tax breaks, something like 3 billion a year, they are 1 billion in the red. The math is simple... people are paying for corporate profit).

I don't want the fiction of being a foreign company to allow one to no pay taxes, as a business, when being an expat doesn't save one from paying personal imcome taxes.

See, I figure tax and spend, is a perfectly reasonable way to go.

Much better than borrow and spend.
