I agree Michael....how about a flat sales tax? And, maybe we cut a little spending...that would be a nice change.

I doubt this. I have received this in my email 100 times and also found it on the net many times.
Well then, obviously it must be true if you saw it in chain emails and on the internet! Now if you'll excuse me, I have some business to take care of with a Nigerian prince.
My point was that we pay a ton of taxes and I think that it is wise to find ways to give it back to citizens and cut spending.
You are advocating MORE SPENDING. Counterproductive spending at that.
You think this is embarrassing myself?
And that was before you tried to use "I saw it on the internet" as proof of your beliefs.
There is no reason to try and make personal attacks when two people disagree...and apparently we really don't.
We most certainly do.
So, I guess you just want to make personal attacks.
Attacking your logic is not a personal attack.
but in my bizarro world, the government keeps a cushion to cover budget shortfalls and stimulus programs saved up from the boom times when tax revenues rise inexplicably--try not to hit your head when you fall out of your seat laughing!
In my imaginary balanced-budget world, the budget is based on the last 5 years trailing revenue average, so even in crazy boom times it'd take a while before the government spending could get out of hand. And by then the economy would probably have cooled off enough to make them not be stupid (yes, fantasy world, I know.)

Lawmakers in Washington are making some proposals for the future ... here's a glimpse of what is going on the floor perhaps this week... in a nutshell - it extends the timeframe through June of next year and would open it up to more folks, including those who have owned a home within the last 3 years!
