Unfortunately, all this talk of how and who should get rebates or tax incentives is counter-productive to the big picture. It simply reinforces the governments belief that all of our money is theirs, and they should decide what special interests they give some stypen back to.
Clearly, the government needs some money to operate on, but a simple flat tax on
individuals only, with no deductions for anything, is the only system that makes any sense.
Obviously, thats not going to happen.
