Well, maybe it should be attacked from both sides.  Everything you said was 
right.  It's a big game.  You have to pay accountants and lawyers to help you 
pay the revenuers money.  I simply think a tax where people could see what 
they are giving the gov't would be better.

But, how are you going to tyell them to stop spending.  They are still paying 
farmers to make ethanol, when we don't need it.  They will probably still be 
paying farmers to make ethaniol when your grandson is as old as you.  They 
never stop.  That is 'one' thing I'll give McCain credit for.  He's been 
raising cain about wasteful spending for years.  He never brought 'pork' home 
to us.

You are right.  But, read the NYT or Wash Post front pages from tonight.  
They are already promising hundreds of billions more -- after the bail-out.  
Congress is like that sailor in a wh*re house you talked about the other day. 
 One day a billion chinamen are going to want tyheir d*mn money.  And, I 
don't blame them.  But, we won't be able to pay ......bobf
