You know the more you read and observe about this Politics thing, you got to admit that each party is worse than the other. The one that's out always looks the best.

Get a sales tax, small on necessities and large on luxuries then a stiff inheritance tax on the fellow that saves and don't spend. That will get him either way. A tax paid on the day you buy is not as tough as asking you for it the next year when you are broke.
