[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 823439, member: 484"] I would be interested in the history books you are quoting. What are their names? Secondly, federal taxation for any purpose means federal control on how that money is spent. When you have the federal government forcibly taxing the public, then claiming that that money is returned for the welfare of the citizens, it is not at all true. When the federal government "gives" the money back to the states for say education, only a small portion of what was collected ever makes it way to the state. Then even a smaller portion makes it way from the state level to the local level where the money is available for producing the service to the taxpayer. And not only is the amount taken away far less than what is returned, the money that is returned comes with restrictions and specific mandates that must be met to continue to "get back" money that was taken in the first place. So no, government taxation for the trickle down benefit of the tax payer has never been economically a sound financial venture. I do find a quote describing George Soros, one of the largest backers of the democratic party, very interesting when it comes to the extremely rich. That from a man that had no problem taking over a billion in profits in one day, profits made on the backs of every day common working class people. Thats OK, lets make rules that affect the self interested uber rich, as long as those rules dont apply to me...... d [/QUOTE]
