Would it help you if I used a different nym for attacking

tax protestors than for answering the (rare) serious
questions?

(I don't think this is off topic, but I'd understand
if the moderator refused it.)

Am I the only one who sees this as double talk?

Jack Kemp has often said "If you want more of something,
subsidize it; If you want less of something, tax it."
So if you want the rconomy to grow, you subsidize
production, consumption, or both. Unfortunately a national
sales tax does the opposite.

I have read dumber ideas, but they were in misc.taxes.
