| Message | A difficult decision. Tax cuts for the poor are all well and good, but better government services require increases in taxation. Higher taxes across the board with the least increase in the lowest brackets would be a preferred method. |

| Random quote: "The first step in freeing yourself from social restrictions is the realization that there is no such thing as a 'safe' code of conduct, one that would earn everyone's approval. Your actions can always be condemned by someone, for being too bold or too apathetic, for being too conformist or too nonconformist, for being too liberal or too conservative. So it's necessary to decide whose approval is important to you." - Harry Browne |
