    Provided that it is proportionate, fair, and equal across all segments of society, sure. The funds from the taxes should go back into reinvesting in the national infrastructure also not somebody's personal pockets or the military that already accounts for most of the nation's GDP spending.

    I believe it is easily proven that the vast bulk of law is created by Democrats.

    In fact, even the media does not deny this fact.

    I do not agree the public clamored for more laws. I believe the congress just took the stand they could make em up and we had to obey them all. And notice the choice of language, to improve life. Sure if you don't mind having the Feds on your back. Want a good example?

    Due to laws over what they call inland waterways, they took it all the way to tiny rivulets that collect water and divert it to creeks. Those became on your property the business of the Feds. And for violations on your own land, they could severely sanction you.

    Notice how a left wing site calls them great laws.

    But even if true, it is not proportionate, fair and equal. You showed the fundamental problem neatly.
    i can look them up but cite cases where lawmakers make up laws to benefit a property that they own. They cash in and make plenty of money. We can't check up on our elected people easily.

    A personal matter I was myself involved in. We have a modest population yet a lot of sq miles in my city. And it contains both wetlands and mountains. A city council man made a modest income. And it turns out he craved a very expensive home. Far above his living standard could provide. So on the council he strikes a deal with a developer. He sells a modest price home and buys a vacant lot. And on the lot intends to construct a home of around 3,000 sq ft on expensive CA property. So the contractor has his own personal needs. He owns acres of hill land he wants to construct million dollar homes on in the late 1980s. Back when a million dollar house was special and huge.

    He works a deal with the councilman to pay for his architects work and supplies materials and labor, pays for permits, to build the new home for the councilman. All done against the law and quietly as possible.

    Anyway, it took a few months to lay this bare but in the end the councilman was expelled from office. i was part of the group that exposed this chicanery.

    "appears", "suggests", and "almost".

    That sure is some damning evidence.

    Are you trying to say that this man can not have a Turkey on Thanksgiving because he did not break a law. That is outrageous and un American. I think everyone in America is entitled to fowl! Now get a grip sir!

    I call one of my brothers a convicted crook. And he died. I guess his children are also convicted crooks. That is the way Democrats think things are.

    Is it? I didn't know that. Thanks for this important information. I wasn't sure what Democrats thought until you told me. Cheers

    Trump posed the Wealth Shift Legislation as a Tax simplification...........

    But no Loopholes were closed for the wealthy.

    Makes you wonder why Trump supporters back a guy who only stands up for the wealthy ?

    Trump alone funds millions in tax revenue to city, county, state and the Federals. I would admire you were you to pay the same sums Trump pays in taxes.

    This Trump saga is so interesting !

    We have a man child running the government like a bull in the china shop.

    When trying to formulate a response he utters " Sad " or " Don't treat me like a child I know all things "

    His own cabinet considers invoking the 25th amendment to protect the country

    He hides behind Legions of Lawyers being investigated by state and Federal.

    Tells the cameras " I grab them by the pu ___y "

    Admirer's of dictators and tells us he has a have special bond with Kim

    He spends his time plying golf or rallying his base.

    Can't wait to see how this plays out in 10 years

    Will the Trump gang be in Jail ? Maybe Trump himself ?

    Red Sox vs Houston is on. Anyone who is really an American would be more interested in the ALCS than what Jared Kushner is doing. I think all of you are Russian or Chines trolls. Watch the ballgame for christs sake. Sox are up 5-4 in the 5 th....

    Sentence structure poor. Some words spelled fairly well. Sorry but it is a D. Too brief.

    I agree, but I am on my second bottle of wine and I just smoked a joint.
