Most Americans are blissfully unaware of how much their freedom & lifestyles really cost. Me I'm not really all that picky. I think four items would make me a happy citizen:
- None of the Above on the ballot sheet. I'm tired of trying to guess which idiot will do the least amount of damage. If neither one looks good, let's go back and check again. Eventually we'll get it right.
- No payroll deductions. Make everybody write a check on April 15. Then people would get an idea of how bad the mandatory wealth distribution really is. You want all those entitlements, here's what they cost.
- Pie Chart for Distributing my Taxes. Let me decide where I want my money to go.
- A Personal Welfare List. If I have to give away my money to forestall social revolution, then give me a list of citizens to choose from. I'd like to eliminate the bloated administration, and see the happy folks directly. This one is tricky. Half the US work force is employed by the govt. Think about how many potential welfare recipients we'd have if we eliminated the bureaucracy.
If you haven't seen this one before, it's worth a read.
