| Message | then should we put more of the burden on the rich? if so will that not lead to them fleeing our nation on huge levels? it would be impratical to tax the wealthiest a very high percentage then tax the poor incredibly low. i believe that the rich should pay more but not where it seems that we want them obliterated. |

| Random quote: "We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails." - Friedrich August Hayek |
