Go Governors. 50 States = 50 chances to get it 'right', :-).
States are test labs for Solutions.
Speaking at an 'Individual State' level for a moment, with our 50 States we have the ability to try out 50 different ideas in real time and circumstances. If something works for 1 gov, then another may take notice on a related issue and may also improve a great idea. These discussions should be bedrock conservatism.
Ahh, IDEAS. Hey, here is an IDEA. Is there a Govnr we can call on to try the 'Commerce Only' tax that Gov. Mike Huckabee has decided to advocate. I'll betcha it that it'll works like a charm. I also betcha it's a winning platform to campaign and govern on.
If the cursed idea of taxing Income has only been around since the early 20th century, can we dispose of it now in the 21st century? It's incredible that we tax Productivity while encouraging disposable Consumption. Tax on consumption will encourage a focus on a products Quality as a sales feature, hence, better quality production in the USA. Better quality means a products usefulness most likely will have a more prolonged life span . The greenies should love a less disposable society e.g. landfills with less garbage per citizen, etc. Great campaign talking points here.
Is there some intentional reason why our tax policy's polarities are wired backwards. Is it sabotage against Freedom's Markets, or just plain dumb luck our leaders wired us wrong. They had a 50-50 chance to have gotten it right, right? I guess we should cut them some slack.
God Bless Us All.
