"The budget should be balanced not by more taxes, but by reduction of follies."
Herbert Hoover
Ever drive by one of the exurbia McMansions and reflect their property taxes are less than your city home? How, faux farmers.

Same folks hollering about intercity welfare breeders with their LINK cards. Solid, Republican Party stalwarts, one and all.
How about General Electric? No longer a USA corporation, totally offshore, paying zero corporate taxes. First to call on our State Department and armed forces when needed.
Guess welfare is in the eyes of the beholder. My solution, a flat, no deduction tax; individual, corporate, charitable trust, foundation, church, whatever. Ass, gas, or grass; no one rides for free.
Will there be unintended consequences. Always.

You can't do a flat tax!! Right now, all pigs are equal, but some are more equal than others. Wouldn't want to change that, now would we?
@ Ami. Wee bit cynical, aren't we? Not that you aren't right.
