if we're a sovereign nation, we're going to need a tax system
being tax and spenders we are, i'm thinking a 69% income tax across the board. it'LL wiLL heLp to pay for everyone's entitLements.

vote sniffa as ayatoLLah of the Lounge.

4. but Look at it this way
sure you're paying 69% of your income to the Lounge government, but you don't have to work because you get to be on weLfare.

it makes perfect sense.

3. If I'm going to pay 69% of my income in taxes
then I want the hookers to be employed by the state.

8. Forget taxes....
Edited on Fri Oct-26-07 01:26 PM by jakefrep
...let's nationalize Delaware's tollbooths.

That, plus sending Grovelbot to collect tolls from the trolls in GD, should provide more than enough revenue to finance a lavish welfare state.
