[QUOTE=WorldTravel69;445749]A review in Civics for those of us who forgot our lessons:

This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article below is completely neutral, not anti republican or democrat. Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day. It's a short but good read. Worth the time. Worth remembering!

545 vs. 300,000,000...[/QUOTE]WT,

I'm surprised to see you posted this as I had long assumed that as a committed liberal you had never met a tax paid by "other people" that you didn't like.

Thanks,

It's also worth mentioning that the 'tariffs' and 'customs duties' that funded the federal government in the 19th century are nothing more than taxes with a different name, except they are even more inefficient.

It has been a few months since I have been to BA. I now find Brazil more interesting. BUT . WOW, looking at the posts on BA I am in shock. So what the fuck is going on. I find no recent entries for anything that is worth readings. I am coming back to SA on my next international trip and BA is now my destination. I can't wait to spend an evening at EXEDRA. After 10pm when all the hooker line up at the front window. If this does not happen well I will guess I will catch the next flight to RIO.
