CM>      Yeah Karolina , bet here is the kicker! All of the taxes we now
CM>      are paying did not come about untill the 1930's ...............
CM>      Go back and read a little history and you'll find inflation and
CM>      all this other stuff was non-existent . Remember the 3 cent stamp?
 
Charles, do you also remember the 25 cent per hour wage, and the great 
depression?  Think about this too, the stock market crash of 1929 (which 
triggered the Great Deression) was only 13%.  Half that now is an average 
swing on the stock market today.
 
Many of the things you take for granted now, came about because of the 
economic expansion of the 1950's, and has been paid for by these taxes, (like 
the R&D in Medicine, nutrition, etc.).
 
We can always look back and long for the better times, but what price are we 
willing to pay to get them back?  Would you give up your car, or house, to 
return to the 1920's tax status?  Would you prefer to drive from work to 
school on city streets, many of which would not even be paved?  Or would you 
walk in the snow and rain as most would have to in the winter months?
