Default Re: \"Unions are Evil\"

Your "Ferrari fund" example is one the government has learned too well. There will always be strong resistance to a flat tax, national sales tax, or any single source of revenue -- because then people would know how much they're paying. It's a concept that successful thieves have known for centuries -- if you want to steal a million dollars, steal $1 each from a million people, and nobody (including the governemnt) will care. Take a million dollars from one person, and now you've got an enemy.
