< Import tariffs would only lead to huge trade deficits in an already struggling global economy. >
We wouldn't need new tariffs, as there are already taxes on about everything coming into this country.
< I fly on major airlines 2 or 3 times a year and without the FAA I wouldn't get on a plane on a bet. The constitution was written to provide a better way of life in the 18th century when our population and technology did not yet require much governing. >
Would a private company be able to provide the same service as the FAA, and if so could they do it more efficiently and cheaper? Most likely, yes. The problem is that the government is not the best source of controlling everyday life. That is still better left to the states and the people.
< What gimme ticket? Most of the people getting the perks don't even bother to vote, unless you are referring to the aarp. >
Most people who vote in this country do so because of something that a politician has promised them, whether its new roads, more social programs, or more schools. Why else do you think the democratic ticket is still so popular?
< I really doubt if taxes on one income can be reduced enough to replace another but more education about parenting and the rteality of what a tough job it is to be a successful parent might help. >
Just the income tax reductions would not be enough. There are federal taxes on almost everything we buy though. Gas would be about 30-40 cents cheaper per gallon without them, cigarettes would be about 50 cents a pack, and beer and wine would be much cheaper without the 'sin tax' on them.
