Wagner, thanks for the detailed response. It is obvious you are passionate about the cause. I am familiar with corporate legal form and the tax structures that noose them. I must say I am one of those people who thinks/thought that a republican think tank shit out this tea party movement. Especially when I see morons like Palin showing up at the rallies. You make several excellent points about our country's transformation from what it once was to the semi-socialist republic we now live in. I will say I think some of your ideas are far fetched such as banishment of the federal reserve system. With that said, my undergraduate education was in finance and I can surely understand your quarrel with the fed. (I have no intentions of being a banker after spending the summer at Merrill lynch....so no witch hunt
) Additionally, I feel that it is extremely difficult if not irrational to live word for word off documents written over 200 years ago (aside from the bill of rights). I do not support the governments recent stomping on these documents, but I do not think our country could be run any better adhering to the principals outlined in the constitution and declaration alone. Last but not lease I do not yet make over 250,000. As someone who intends to own and operate a small business in our economy, I must say I have several concerns as you are well aware of. I sure as death intend to one day be in that higher tax bracket that's currently being progressively taxed and will acknowledge that my opinion may change when that day comes.
