Oh no, not more taxes – even I have to agree to a certain point. But let us remember, that is how the west was won. Know you only have to look at the good times and the bad to realise that only the few make it. You take the good, red-hot economy. Prices never dropped. In fact, they increased right across the board. Take the bad times with the entire hanger-on group. Again, prices increased right across the board. The only difference is one group is trying to make things a little fairer for everyone. Now please don't whinge, as taxes make the world go round and as we are following the rest of the crazies you should be happy that the future is going to be more expensive, with the few that have the riches and the power to influence.
