Couldn't the US just invade all the nations who don't charge tax and disperse the hidden funds so we can all have free vacations? Bermuda shoud be a US state anyway. #PirateBootyBeachPartyhowmuch.net/articles/world…
Nah the government would just spend any new taxes on silly programs while borrowing more every year. Maybe we should eliminate flat income taxes and shift to a usage/inheritance/offshore penalty model. crfb.org/blogs/us-highe…
Or should we create new ways to measure tax effectiveness and pay according to quality of services? The monopolization of State Services may be a problem. Efficient or bureaucratic mess? ourworldindata.org/taxation

"The committee has identified at least six categories of materially false statements that Mr. Prince made during his testimony" intelligence.house.gov/news/documents…
So apparently someone in the White House called the FBI in DC to shut down the Prince ITAR investigation just before Christmas. This is in addition to Barr slow rolling and freezing the perjury investigation. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…
There is something about a typewriter. The overly complex machine that made you think hard before putting words to paper. theguardian.com/global-develop…
