You're 100% correct. The Federal Government should provide each State with a bill (based upon its population) and let the States decide how to collect the revenue.
Citation needed. I hear this a lot but never seem to hear any evidence of it.
The US used to have a maximum tax rate of over 90%, but fewer millionaires left the country than now when the tax rates are historically very low.
Deductions from income allowed the average person to pay, in inflation adjusted dollars, less than HALF of what they pay today in taxes. Sure, it was nominally a higher rate - but the Federal Government received a little less than half the dollars, per capita, than it did back in those days. Elimination of deductions, constant lowering of income brackets, addition of additional taxes all add up to more than doubling the Federal Government's revenue. Even with a nominally lower tax rate.
The adjusted (not raw) warming data clearly indicates that rate of temperature of last 50 years is far higher than any other period in history
FTFY.
She was NEVER in-line for being president.
Ah, I typo-ed. She was fourth in line, not second. You know, because of that pesky US Constitution, which says so in plain language as it establishes the presidential line of succession. Your idea of "never" is pretty strange, but it sure does make you sound righteous enraged and all!
He's a liberal. The Constitution is irrelevant, and can be ignored - or misquoted - at will.
Those who can, do; those who can't, write. Those who can't write work for the Bell Labs Record.
