"Some"? Might want to check those facts, Costello.

The extravagantly wealthy have access to loopholes and other measures that
negate their taxes. See previous postings in this forum by yours truly.

Totally agree.

No, revenue collection will increase until americans will no longer just sit
there and take it.

This whole section makes me wonder how you can defend the current
administration on any basis. Shrub has increased the deficit cap, or hadn't
you noticed? Plus the whole Iraq thing is fully at the expense of the
american taxpayer. Frankly, what the heck are you talking about? You can't
have your bloody war and then NOT pay for it too.
> ...it just continues to get bigger and bigger until it is unmanageable.
It is already unmanageable -- but that is beside the point.
Govt. will increase and expand its role until it has total control. Read
your Washington, Jefferson, Jay, Madision, Hamilton, and Franklin all over
again.
It's all right there -- now as in the beginning.

| Alright, time for me to stop defending this administration and to voice my opposition. It looks like tax relief is finally going to be passed, and from the looks of it there will be some tax relief across all brackets. Those are the good things, I (...)
