--EJoRWLNjajoelDcM08wGlWPDXMZR2DVqmiJu7Jg Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Better idea: Eliminate all taxes on PRODUCTIVE activity, and instead tax only UNproductive activity -- monopoly and special privilege, especially monopoly, hoarding, and speculation in LAND (in the broadest sense of the word, including all natural resources). Fund social security, universal medical care, and anything else you want out of the economic RENT on the natural world that currently goes (illegitimately, counterproductively, and without any justification) into private hands who do absolutely nothing to earn it.
