<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 976117, member: 23626&quot;]Somehow, I feel diferently than you. No body likes paying taxes, but without them, what do we have ? Not to discuss socialist programs like a Federal military or public education, taxes are a necessary evil.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I can state that prior to policies adopted under the Reagan administration, the economy ran like a Swiss watch. 90% tax brackets meant the wealthy spent money on deductible items. Race horses, yachts, expensive business lunches, etc. Money flowed through the economy. Changes in the tax laws caused this flow to become barely a trickle. Now we look at what the long term consequences are. Industries like luxury boat builders have collapsed here. So, in theory, while we all agree on many points about taxation or lack of it. We certainly are not as prosperous as we once were. Cyclic trend ? Maybe, but we still have very low taxes compared to the rest of the world. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The beauty of freedom in this country, is there is no fence or border guard to keep someone here. Make a lot of money, pay a lot of taxes. So make more money IMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
