The next logical step?

To answer your question Wolferz; Term limits. That will fix it.

Soon they will go back to the Window Tax.

Wait till I go off the grid solarwise

They'll probably tax my sunlight consumption. The revolution starts when they attempt to tax Life insurance benefits too as a part of estate taxes! The first sign of collapse is generally a government's desperate thrashing fiscally for 'filthy lucre'! And the currency they print is already suspect!

That is an unintended consequence of passing legislation that cuts down on what ends up to be a source of tax revenue.

For every government action there is an equal but intended reaction.

What we want to avoid is implementing a "cure" that is worse than the "disease"

The government is the disease in many instances, Platapus. Top heavy and constrained by antiquated laws and regulations that no longer apply. Societies evolve. Government devolves in a desperate effort to survive at any cost. The grand experiment worked well for awhile but progress has left it mired in the mud of ignorance. Exponential growth of even more desperate measures will be seen in the near future. Growing like a pimple until the pressure finally pops it.

Well it does prove that at the end of the day it is all about pulling tax revenue.

The political class has since long turned into a political caste with a feudal self-understanding.

But don't worry. With the next paper money all will get better.

AKA raping the public.

We pay tax on the vehicle, tax on the fuel it burns, tax on the oil for oil changes, tax on the labour for the oil change, tax on every part we put on the vehicle, Income tax, and on and on. Every 7.6 cents we spend gets taxed.

But it is probably better than the alternative.

The black car pulls up in front of Wolferz's house. The tinted window rolls down.

Your attitude...has been noted Mr. Wolferz.

The car speeds away and makes a phone call to the IRS.
A month later Wolferz returns to the subsimz GT.

I love obamunism. The dear leader is good.

I see the bullet extraction from Abe Lincoln's head was a success.
