I was thinking about the three big Presidential candidates making their empassioned pleas for donations during the <em>Idol Gives Back</em> event last week. I saw only glimpses of the event but I was fortunate(?) enough to catch our candidates.<br /><br />How much more could people give if we didn't have this punative tax burden heaped onto our backs? After listening to all these politicians I finally get it. The whole problem with the the Government is that they don't have enough of my money. I wonder what would happen if we had <a href="http://www.fairtax.org/">a fair tax system</a>...<br /><br /><em>By the way, what was with Bono defining the "new Americans" as the kind of people who will dig deep to give to </em>Idol Gives Back<em>? Seems to me that the "old" Americans have given quite a bit. Why are we even entertaining these ideas that there is something wrong with us?</em>PolarSharkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04511274211657286381noreply@blogger.com
