I think I have already said before that I support a flat tax. 10% across the board. If you make a million dollars, you pay 100,000 in taxes. 100,000.....you pay 10,000 in taxes. So on and so forth.

And, privatized health care and tier 2 education system, including K-12. You want free market, that is free market.
|
See, your problem is that you think because I support the free market, suddenly everything should become private. Health care is a basic necessity(right to live).....and I support some form of a public system, but also feel that anyone should have the right to 'pay' to get better treatment. As for education, it should be completely looked after by each state. None of this crap by the federal government always getting involved.

None of this funding for arts stuff, or other industries that financially arn't able to support their own weight, but still bring intangibles to society.
|
I wasn't aware that the arts/music/etc, etc industry wasn't able to support itself financially. I do support some kind of funding, at least to increase the incentive work in the industry, but no way should the government be 'subsidizing' it.

Lets let survival of the fittest thrive

In a perfect world, survival of the fittest would drive everyone to succeed. But, we don't live in a perfect world, so a democratic system, the way WE know it, needs some form of government oversight. But that doesn't mean the government should be getting involved in the economy to the point where the 'market' can't function without that oversight.
Which is exactly what is happening the US right now. Stupid decisions by the government years ago now coming around to kick them in the ass.
I'm not really surprised either.
