Hey, don't come bitching to me, I'll talk your ears off. My grandfather was 30 before we had income taxes (during the depression). They ain't written in stone, it's my mission in life to replace them with a national sales tax. >From what I heard the constitution explicitly defines two types of taxes (I forget the names), but basically they are "taxes on things" and "just you have to pay it" taxes, and our government is only supposed to collect the first kind. It was what the big hoopla was with Britain was all about. But you can't fight city hall. So, I agree, our tax system needs to be chucked. But the government needs money, lots of it. That ain't going away. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
