Justice?
No, more like pure pathetic greed. Again I stand by my assertion that we are over taxed and taxed on some of the stupidist things. You pay tax on tax and you see that as okay.

Bottom line, if it's bartered between two people then who's to know it happened and who will enforce the claim? Services are easy to hide from unwanted taxation and even easier to hide from prying eyes. Which is why more Americans are starting to move back towards the barter system. It's a way of getting what you need and want, without being taxed on it.

One flat tax, period. No loop holes no way to get out of it. And make the government accountable for where the money is going. Do you know where your taxes are going right now?

Another thing, people complain about high taxes in Europe and yet let see many of the countries in Europe are educational powerhouses compared to the US. They have better vacation plans that most average Americans, they have a health system in place, may not be the most efficient, but going to the Dr is not something that is feared as it is here in America... so how are the taxes we pay being used?

The bottom line is the Republic is in some deep doo doo right now, and the majority of Americans are blind to that simple fact. In reallity we stand on the brink of financial destruction that we may never recover from.

Great now I am off on a tangent. I will be very honest with you Anton, I don't think I would like you as a person, you are to greed driven and to materalistic for my tastes. I have read many of your posts and you sound like many people I have heard before, all about the money. You almost sound like a lawyer... and I hate those thieves enough that I feel there should be open season on lawyers.

Either way, the more the system grows and tries to sqeeze the people the more the people will find a way to screw the system. Until one day the system is replaced.

Have a nice day.

John.
