Hey Jake, I've seen the link before, but haven't read it yet, i definitely will be now. faithuntamed - agreed, I don’t know how anything like that would ever happen. maybe that could be set up if we planted new cities. and you’re right, it would likely slow down technological innovation, but in place of innovative ways of relieving poverty… i just might opt in for.

It was excellent. I'm going to have to vote against a flat tax; billionaires can be taxed much heavier than me and me more than others. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/17/magazine/17charity.t.html?pagewanted=1&ei=5070&en=6a571bdabf3c232c&ex=1167368400 If you haven’t read Singer’s article on giving, you should.

Assuming a person worked hard and would give an honest days work for an honest days pay. My fear is something like that could eventually lead to socialism and that innovation and technological advances would be slowed. In theory though, the idea has merit and is worth discussing. For starters, congress could put a flat tax in force and allow all of us to save money on our tax prep (especially ministers) and do our taxes on a 5 x 7 index card. What a great step that would be. Japan's been doing this for years with great success. Be blessed brother. Hope your family is doing great! Lon,
