I'd be happier with either no income or no federal sales tax, but a hard limit would be an acceptable compromise. <br /><br />BC, I'd like to find some kind of way to fix social security so that you and those like you could actually live on it, and my kids wouldn't be paying into a decaying, collapsing Ponzi scheme in the future.<br /><br />Tam, I was hoping Bachmann's tax ideas would be like the recovering alcoholic with the ten years sober pin taking the keys from a drunk.

My thoughts were along the lines of, "You're giving into the stupid, easy, snarky path that the likes of Jon Stewart uses."<br /><br />She never HAD my vote, but she especially doesn't now.<br /><br />All the candidates have negatives for me.
