A nice idea, true, but one that is impractical, as of right now. I would love
not to be taxed, but I don't think it is practical. Our current society needs to
pay for certain things (I.E., military, roads, etc.), but not in the way, the
amount, or the scope, of government that we have today. I am all for
privatization of things, but in this current climate, I don't know if anything
is going to change outside of a revolution, or some other drastic measure.
