Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

I suggested that the way to handle that was not by making drastic changes to the tax code, but by sending annually or semiannualy a check to all tax payer so as to bring the surplus back down to no more than .5% to 1% of GDP. (they "took" my advice, once (g).)
