Our elected elite will never give up the ability to make the tax code benefit them because that would free the American taxpayer to focus on the elite's performance instead of "tax reform". Politicians have three goals, spend your money, get more of it and keep their job.<br />How many positions in the US can you support two houses and at least one family on less then $200K a year while at the same time becoming a multi millionaire in a couple of years. Lobbyists are in business to buy favors from the anointed public greed mongers and they are quite effective. <br /><br />We truly need to go back to citizen legislators who meet a week out of every six and have to earn a living in the real world. skudrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610092853412481236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-58558316386950294062017-11-16T02:54:17.609-05:002017-11-16T02:54:17.609-05:00Yes, he's got lots of knowledge from inside th...Yes, he's got lots of knowledge from inside the synagogue, so to speak.Waylonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533895509055020394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-51457527076261115862017-11-15T14:18:25.767-05:002017-11-15T14:18:25.767-05:00Oswald, we do NOT appreciate Tattletales here, nor...<b>Oswald, we do NOT appreciate Tattletales here, nor do we support the spreading of Blog Gossip.<br /><br />Either speak for yourself, please, or refrain from commenting altogether.</b>FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-67532666101136459662017-11-15T14:13:45.971-05:002017-11-15T14:13:45.971-05:00I told YOU to GET OUT and STAY OUT, Norman.

Perhaps it is so because it is easier to jump to that which requires the minimum of thought and being a burr does occasionally gives a brief sense of satisfaction. I am guessing here but he longer the malady persist the more difficult is becomes to cure. I do have just a bit of experience with this first hand and can attest to the <i>fact</i> is a fools journey as it accomplishes nothing at all.<br /><br />On to the post topic.<br /><br />In principle I agree with what you say. As I was thinking about your prose it occurred to me that the disciplines required to lead a successful life in a society such as you (as well as many others) desire are the very principles and values my grandfather and father taught me were important and proper as far back as I can remember. Thankfully for me by living my life by those vales I have been able to lead an independent and productive life. As have my young middle age boys.<br /><br />There are some specifics that warrant in my mid tweaking a bit. I'm reminded of your views that all veterans ought to receive free heath car and a free hose for their service. Which would be fine by me. But it caused me to ask myself, if this is just and proper why is it we can't find a way to implement a national health system that would allow for affordable and adequate healthcare for all <i>American citizens and legal immigrants</i>.
