               So if we get a wealth tax now.. - meatiger MU - 3/2 08:28:22
                    I don't even know how to respond to such nonsense - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/2 08:29:34

                                             Where does that money come from?(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/2 08:38:09
                                                  Mostly from taxes - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/2 08:40:56
                                                       mostly? - meatiger MU - 3/2 08:41:42
                                                            Municipalities do not solely derive income from taxes meat - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/2 08:44:38

                              That is the fault of a deeply flawed tax system - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/2 08:35:00
                                   The internal revenue code has to be complex in order - ummmm MU - 3/2 08:40:16
                                        That is one of the reasons the tax code is so complex - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/2 08:46:32
                                             I don't know how it could be worse. Have you ever held - ummmm MU - 3/2 08:54:21
                                                  It is the reason our federal government was given a role - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/2 08:56:04
                                        Especially given - meatiger MU - 3/2 08:42:42
