Amazing how intelligent a dairy farmer can be! Thank yo sir. I have Also milked a dairy herd and know the sweat that this man generates placing milk and dairy products on your table for very little money, mostly because he loves his way of life.

@raleighb53 the problem isn't the state alone. It's corporate state collusion. Financial institutions in particular suck their wealth directly from public coffers, and a financial transaction tax is one way to reclaim the money they've stolen.

The answer is more and broader participation in public life. If you do away with most taxes, the largest corporations will only get better at fleecing us all. But sure, cut taxes on the middle class and working poor.

You do Wisconsin proud, Mr. Goodman.

Agree with much, but. "enact a final transaction tax"? Umm, more taxation will NOT be making Washington less powerful. Do away with most taxes and do NOT dare enact any new ones
