Ah! So you are advocating that everyone pays the same amount. So that's
a $3 trillion fed budget divided by 300 million people, or about $10,000
per person. So, a family of four pays $40,000 regardless of how much they
make. That works out pretty good for the half of the country that makes
under the family average of about $70K. Social Security average is what,
$14K? We'll just send the widows $333 a month and call it even! Its
about the same for military enlistees. Throw in local taxes and a third
of the country has a take home pay of about zero!


Everyone paying the same amount would certainly limit the size and scope of
the leviathen wouldn't it?


On the other end of the scale, the super rich shouldn't have to pay more
than $10K per head, and shouldn't have to pay local taxes because they
have their own schools and security.

There you have it, the super rich create more school and security jobs. I
wonder if they would extend the services to the not so super rich at a good
price and yet profit from it.


And fire departments should only save houses that have paid insurance.

Why can't insurance companies reimburse fire departments for their services
just like health insurance does for the ambulance ride? There are private
fire fighters that have protected homes from wildfires in California where
the owners have paid for their products and services.

"Whether or not you are a FireMed member, you will always receive the
highest level of emergency treatment and transportation. As a non-FireMed
member, however, you will be billed for the services. You may give the bill
to your insurance company but will be responsible for any unpaid balance.
Keep in mind that there is no guarantee that your insurance will pay in full
for the treatment that you received."

If you're plump watch out:
