For starters, they could pay less or nothing, which is what I think he as a libertarian is going for. How much less, and by whom, and where would the collected taxes go? I'll guess he'd get rid of SS, Medicare and Medicaid, which would save a lot of money. How would that change the country do you think? Would he then get rid of the EPA, OSHA, FCC, FTC and the other departments? Who would pay for infrastructure repair? Who would care about air and water quality? In short, would things be better if we all kept 100% of the money we make? And if so, how? Just wondering. > [Original Message] > From: Paul Stone <pas@xxxxxxxx> > To: <lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: 5/24/2005 9:57:04 AM > Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: Paying taxes for months on end > > AA: Brian, just curious.
