I havent forgotten them, but maybe you have! All these things need
taxes to be collected. And you seem to consider legitimate taxation
as a parasitizing activity..... <br>

<br>
that just your ideological gov-hatred coming through, or else do you
have any basis for making such a sweeping statement? <br>
<br>
Milton, Either you accept local jurisdictions and their disparate
tax systems or you work for some kind of a global regime which is
fair to all. You cant run away from both, as you seem to do.<br>

shd we than dissolve local governments, and it is enough
that the US collects most of the taxes from the world over
because in any case it seems to be doing much of the
governance.... (someone said recently, ironically of course,
that everyone in the world should be allowed to vote for
forming the US government!) <br>
