You need to look only at the countries in Europe with high taxes and not nearly the diversity of markets as enjoyed here in America. Take a look at our neighbors. Canadians come to America to enjoy the savings of our lower prices or to escape the long waits of socialized medicine. Mexicans risk their lives and arrest to come to America to enjoy greater returns for their labor. So it seems.
Taxation is oppression of the people.
I have only one question about Paul Krugman's column yesterday on the mistake of President Bush's tax cut plan. If your answer is that the government does waste tax money, I would think you'd want to get back some of your hard-earned tax dollars before the government wastes it. The tax refunds and reductions over 10 years aren't going to make any difference if the country is in a prolonged recession. Get your money while you can before taxes go up to pay for the tax breaks. Somebody better wake that cowboy and remind him that he isn't in Texas any more.
