Lower income earners spend the majority of their income on consumables, which would be taxable under your system. Higher earners, who save more, would not be taxed on the money they're not spending. Lower income earners would have most of their income exposed to taxes, while higher income earners would not.

And agreeably with the Education there are problems but i don't think throwing money at it carelessly would solve anything. In the end i think America does way to much of that to begin with. After all look at the billions spent on bail outs lately, and yet those same company's end up in debt soon after. There was a reason they got into trouble if a company cant sustain itself it fails, that is how a free economy is supposed to work but our government doesn't seem to get that. I personally think the reason the schools fail is because slowly America in general at least has indeed slowly become stupid in general and many people out there want a free hand out in life and don't want to actually work for the knowledge to get them somewhere in life. However i must agree on the rest of the topics you did flawlessly. However un-likely it is that you would run i would easily give you my vote for president over any of the disasters we have had to pick from in the last few decades.

It's something else that needs to be fixed. I don't know what it is exactly. My only advice is that teachers should be supported more by the principal and parents. Every parent thinks their kid is a saint (the bad guy think he's the hero of his own life story) and won't side with the teacher. Education: More money is not the solution.

It happened when the USA was formed, throwing out the English. It happened/happens in Africa when old colonies are being liberated. And it happens now in Iraq, Afghanistan etcetera. There is a reason why they are mad at the UK and the USA. They have nothing against the American Way of Life or any of that bullshit. The thing is that we in the west have over and over fucked them up and stole their resources (in this case mostly gas).If a fraction of the money spent by the EU and the US in controlling this region with arms had been spent investigation in this region again we would not have had this war.Regarding the gun-thing, that I can't even begin to understand, here are some photos from Liberia: http://www.widelec.org/?site=detail&skad=rss&id=1170 Being from a country that differs a lot from the US in almost everything I can’t really relate to many of this issues.

You're right about education, though, but your healthcare point is moot. I disagree with pretty much everything you say, for once.

Loved your libertarian post, EXCEPT,

So if you’re against “woman’s sufferage” you are against the right of women to vote? Sounds odd to mer after what else you post says.
