i guess i just have a problem with it because being self-employed i do 2 things many americans DON'T do:

1. pay for my own business travel out of my own pocket.

2. write my own check for the FULL AMOUNT of my tax burden

but the post about the admin costs outweighing the benefits raises a very good point. and if that slows daschle and the rest of the dems down on their quest to have a small minority of american pay the majority of taxes, i'm all for it.

I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the rights of the people by the gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.
