Sounds like you need to quit paying any kind of taxes. Then you can keep everything you've earned. Or do you still consider it 'yours' after you've paid your taxes, for someone's skill or service (and any kind of sales tax on top of that).

I have absolutely no idea what you mean by that.

While we're on the subject, why don't you go to a 'lesser income' area of Akron and check things like gas prices, or prices in the grocery store. I think you'll find they're higher there than an 'upper class' area store.

Actually, I have done that and what you are saying is not true. Is this the case in Austin?

Supposedly, that was to be taken care of with the 'trickle down' economics of the Reagan/Bush I era - but it just didn't happen, did it? Those that had more, kept it - for the most part - and those that had less, lost more.

Actually, it takes about 10 years for the results of political policies to be felt - you do not see an immediate change. So, the ecomonic prosperity you saw in the Clinton years was a direct result of Regan's trickle down economics. And what we are seeing today is a direct result of policies - let me see, now, who was in office 8 - 10 years ago? Oh, yeah, it was Clinton.
