I don't really have much of an opinion per say on this. Do what you want
in the bedroom, I don't go in yours, don't go in mine.

Should the governmnet have any say in it? I think the federal tax code
is a total sham, and it hurts working people, you included.

I think the current tax code is a total joke, I think it should be
scrapped, period. I favor either a flat tax, with a 36,000 deductible,
or a consumption tax. Eliminates questions like this in a hurry, and is
fair for more people. I get socked at the end of the year when I work
two jobs because all the income gets added together (I.E. I get taxed at
my real jobs tax bracket for my part time job income.) But when you have
a power mad and money mad Washington DC eating more and more income and
money, and can't even give anyone any kind of tax cut, there is a
serious problem, one I hope will be addressed soon.
