I think most things should be funded locally, so exactly where do we disagree?

If I was living in America I would be happy paying for the defense (not for the Iraq war though) as I think it's needed and if you could fund it with sales tax I would be fine with that.(Exactly why are you ok with sales tax?)
But in sweden, my god, it's such a waste of money. I don't know what they think they could do with our defense except for delaying the enemy (who would care enough about our tiny country to be our enemy in the first place??) five minutes because they're laughing their asses off at our sorry excuse for a defense.

I'm sure you ARE funny, but it's just me having a blonde moment.
But I'm glad to see that, as you seem to be a little too serious and little stiff (sorry, you know how much I like you).
You and Cheech should learn a little something from eachother...One too passionate (If you can be too much passionate?) and with too much temper and one too serious ;)
And thank you sweetie :)

Everyone who worked on it deserves admiration not just me. What we managed to do on this thread you will probably not see on any other thread. we Managed to form a group of Strangers across the country and beyond it borders to collectively attack one of the major problems of a country in general and draft a document of Possible avenues of solutions and change.
That is the recognition we deserve the American people deserve the benefits.

JFTR..........are you insinuating that perhaps, and I only say perhaps, that I might be as untrustworthy as that old wolf Cheech? I'm a puppy. Cheech has been challenging me to a joist for a week or more and yet, I continue to be a perfect gentleman avoiding all forms of violence.
(Hey Cheech.......I'm just kidding her at your expense. We certainly are two old wolves for sure eh?)

Too serious??? You must be having a super blonde moment. Very few people consider me too serious outside of the office. If you only knew how I am beyond the discussion of this serious issue. I live my life full of fun and thankfully enough health to allow me to take part in activities with my sons. I'll give you a hunt.......if we have waves, you'll find me surfing. If the surf is down, look for my bubbles.

Interesting strategy...causing your enemy to laugh themselves to death.
I think why he likes the sales tax idea more than income tax, as you have more of a choice to pay it. You only pay the tax it you choose to purchase something. I think in some ways this could be more harmful than good, but that topic needs a thread of it's own as well.

With some things you don't have a choice at all and with other things you might as well say that you can't buy what you want to buy with your own (hard earned) money without having to pay for something you might not want to pay for.
