The solution is RIGHT there in front of you, Rosskolnikov. How much percentage of your personal income is taxed? All told? Yeah!! Now truly take a second to consider: [Equal] taxation with representation ((((ACROSS THE BOARD)))). You are a money guy, finance is your understanding, no? Just about 50% of everything you make goes into taxes of one sort or another. HALF of your earthly worth. & your dollar is worth dick at a buck a stick o butter. If we want an infrastructure & public services, parks, etc., we must pay taxes, granted, gladly. But: What’s fifty percent of $80-100,000, the average decent American household income nowadays if you want to stay even remotely afloat? Okay NOW how much is fifty percent of 11 million to 2.2 billion? How much? Wow, that's a spi-icy pipeline! Fair is fair, sisters & brothers. And THEN, Rossy, there would be NO problem with the economy. NONE! NADA! The economy would be sweeeet. The country alive! & the rich would still be rich (as it should be) & the remainder would stand a chance (as it dammmn-well aughta be ye bastids!).

BUT it ain’t likely gona happen is it? Nope. & so, although NONE of us wants it, perhaps armed insurrection IS the only option. BUT here’s the thing. Not peasants & farmers. That sheeeeeet won’t do. No. Focused, dynamic, trained, soldiers of fortune & flame. Heart, soul, guts, glory, dead-eye-dicks. One clean pick at a time. Perty soon, …cold-assed people would have to start learning a conscience, learning the fear of their karma, the undeniable asininities of their piggish self-interests. AND then we, the people, we simple lot, we hopeful lot, we lovable lickable folk, would have our Chagrin River Boat Clubs, our beaches, our rec centers, our libraries & our schools back.

Oversimplification? Hey, whata you want for public education, a pecuniary exposition?

The previous li’l ditty, the one you so generously &/or graciously replied to, is my best work. There are cute little quasi-poetic references throughout if one has he time to look. Took everything I have cerebrally to rip that out. This reply here is out of pure appreciation for your effort to communicate ideas. Who was it who said: All we need to do…is keep on talking.
