 SB> Charles, I believe that it would be good to reform our tax system.  We
 SB> are not in disagreement here.  I will do what is in my power to create
 SB> reforms, including calling and writing my congressmen, writing letters
 SB> to newspapers, etc.  However, there are taxes you oppose that I
 SB> support. I am fine with taxes on ciarettes, since the use of cigarettes
 SB> end up costing our society money to care for the children of those who
 SB> are disabled or die as a result of cigarette use, and to care for those
 SB> who use cigarettes and become ill as a result.  The smokers might as
 SB> well pay for what they are going to cost us.
     more people are kiiled driving cars and working on jobs that
     there are for somking !!! would you support the same taxes on
     diving and owning a car ? sugar and caffeine also kills maybe
     we should have a suger tax , or better yet how about a war tax,
     that seem to kill a lot of people more quickly ! hehehe!
     I am a smoker why don't you ban my cigarettes if you wish to
     be my parent and control my life style . But then if I were not
     your "responsibility" you could say nothing.... LIBERALISM!
 SB> And the fact that you and I disagree is central to the problem we are
 SB> having.  If you and I disagree, there has to be a system to create
 SB> order out of the multitude of opinions out there.  What governmental
 SB> system can you create so that there is order in the area of taxation,
 SB> and other laws, and yet each of the two hundred million differing views
 SB> on taxation and other laws in this country are given at least some sort
 SB> of fair hearing. How would that system deal with the inevitable
 SB> disgruntled people whose views would end up not being the accepted law
 SB> of the land?
