>LOL, You really think that you are better off when taxes are low? That is the stupidest remark I ever heard. Learn some economics and learn that the lower the taxes, the poorer joe average. Income taxes dropped from 50% to some 38% a few years ago up here. Do you really think I have more to spend? Hahaha. I wish it was so. You're beeing tricked, by a very simple economic rule. Well let me tell you. Low taxes is great if you've got an awfull lot of money, but bad if you just have barely enough to feed your family.

I took about 9 econ classes and do not agree with you at all. And that is not being against a free market economy. I am glad we have one, with reservations.

But the hell with that. I don't think anyone is going to be convinced in such a contentious debate. How 'bout them Bears?! <g> I am becoming a believer, I honestly am.
