MORE GOVERNMENT, NOT LESS.

The most ridiculous thing I hear everyday is people wanting less government. The smartest thing Ive heard is people wanting less government. How can you have both?
It is so easy it is frightening. Eliminate the IRS and have a standard sales tax on everything. No one can be tax exempt and everything you buy is taxed at the same rate for all things. Give the president a line item veto. With this in place you could have your worries disappear. The government will be able to finance health care, school k- college, and all local projects. The government would need less then half it's budget to run with Congress and Senate returning to part time. More jobs would be created.

The trouble with a line-item veto is that it permits the President too much control over the bills the Legislature passes. I get the appeal of it, but at the same time, it basically lets the Prez pick and choose parts of a bill, after the House and Senate had to agree on it the way it was.

The other choice is "no pork". Each bill passes on it's own merrit. No add ons. The pork cost more then the bill and keeps our Representatives busy. If it wasn't for the pork, Congress and Senate would only be a part time job.
