This thread was originally about paying taxes. April 15th came and went, and the Federal government owes me $94. I've seen arguments about the legality of income taxes. All portions of the Constitution have been eaten away at in some form or another.

So anyway, let's get hypothetical about the specifics. We all seem to have some ideas on what taxes are, where they should come from. We all complain in some form or another. So what should be done ... specifically?

1. What is the tax pie to be made of?
2. What kind of taxes?
3. Who pays the taxes?
4. Are they to be taxes on goods and/or services?
5. Are there any fundamental shifts in the way things are done that if implemented would alter this pie?
6. How tall will the pie be [silly Dubya!]?
7. What is it spent on? [Worms, can, can opener]

Where do we get the money from to run the country, and do it well? Should the nutbar who just wrote this post have this moved to another thread?
