SOME ECONOMIC QUESTIONS: I like this one: “Is it good public policy to have your entire electorate pay taxes? If so, why? If not, why not? I’m trying to figure out how it is healthy to have 35-40% of the electorate outside of the income tax system.” I think that everyone should pay something in income tax, and that the amount they pay should go up or down with total federal spending. Otherwise nobody has any incentive to control spending, and we wind up . . . well, where we are. More questions, and an invitation to discussion, at the link.
