Campaign Finance Reform...

...can never truely be enacted without severely infringing on the Bill Of Rights. Better to just not let these carpetbaggers have our $$$ in the first place by eliminating Federal Income Tax. Then we can all say a welcome good-by to Pork Barrel Politics (at least in the National Arena) :0) __________________ And I was all set to agree with you until I read paragraph 2. __________________ Well, I admit it is a positive vision, but you have to Aim High. :0) __________________ ...in Vermont, but are now moving to revoke it again. __________________ Quote: Originally posted by renots Better to just not let these carpetbaggers have our $$$ in the first place by eliminating Federal Income Tax.

And even more seriously, I think there is a place for the federal goverment. A slimmed down version? Yup, but certainly not the size you predict. You realize that by imposing a massive tax on capital gains, you'd drive most of the investors out of the market, causing what? That's right, boys and girls, a market crash, putting tons of people out of business and work, and letting the air out of tons of peoples' retirement plans. How can you be so cold hearted as to put a lot of retired people out in the street? __________________ ...just one that rewards investors instead of speculators. I'm 100% behind lowering taxes on longer-term investments ;0) __________________ Quote: Originally posted by pennypinch I see your lunacy persists.
