Im finding out tho that even the most ardent "haters" of the current paradigm. the ones screaming constantly about how bad it is do not seem to want choices on taxes. Im not sure why. In my opinion its all we can do right now is invest all our extra earnings into sustainable systems. we cant do that now and have to stay in the lemmings march for longer.
