I'm for a flat tax and people at or below poverty tax exempt. Business should be tax exempt (and HIGH SCROUTNEY on if a business is legitamate for tax exemption) because any taxes on a business are just passed to the customer as cost of doing business anyway. We must have taxes to pay for our common good, but I am all for government being held to business standards, not just an endless supply of money. I have no problem with helping people, I do have a problem with people abusing the system. MANY people here believe that anyone seeking aid is a dead beat and lazy. Sadly, that is not always the case.

Insurance is another big drain, because we are so sue happy, and many abuse the system and the policy holders (me and you) pay the costs.

In a few weeks I AM GOING TO DRAIN THE POT!! (surgery) LOL
