Actually you're right, I got the tax proposals mixed up there, the universal sales tax and the income flat tax, and you're right again, they'd never work though I am a strong proponet personally for an income flat tax, as unpopular as that is.

I've always wondered how long people will take to realize that the Democrats who started Social Security, never expected to pay out from it since life expectance back then didn't reach the age of social security. By the 40's there were some reaching social security age, and by 1958, we realized that oh oh...

By the 80's Social Security was in the tank and it was empty. Bush tried to address it, the Democrates Demogogue it and nothing gets done. This is where Republicans really tick me off. If you stand for something, stand up for it. I like a flat tax, I get criticized for it all the time, even from, it seems, mostly republicans... I don't think Democrats understand the concept... I mean that sincerely. I'm gonna be working till I die... I've resigned myself to that... :grin: My kids can't bail me out.

Interesting article and I believe it, have believed it, and have preached just that too
