Get rid of personal and corpoate taxes.  Tax luxury items, stiff taxes on luxury cars, yachts, second homes, furs, private planes, foreign travel - stiff tax.  Tax in accordance with the degree of degradation entailed in manufacture and disposal.  This would improve American trade balance and long-term growth, accompanied by lowering tax pressure on productive investments.  This makes sense.  Starve a Feeding Bureaucrat!  Put them to work!  Invent an invention like the dishwasher or windshield wiper (both by women, by the way, and not a rich, sloth-like individual).<\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"From the book \"Green Delusions\" by Matin W.
