if there are people that aren't paying -income- tax as it is now,
what's the difference?
"they" aren't paying -income- tax now anyway...
it's much more difficult to _hide_ when you -spend- money...
of course, there is the danger of breeding
the "world's richest misers"
like in the record books...
these characters who had billions of dollars
and lived like a bag Lady,,,
so, winsome lose some
dealing with the red chinese is
pretty close to saying something
like this...
> is "not who we are" or is it?
in case you forgot, here's a refresher...

Amendment VI
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy
the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury
of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been
committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law,
and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation;
to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have
compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor,
and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

oh, that's the sixth amendment to te U.S. Constituton
rights guarenteed to all U.S. citizens...
just remember, the moment the centurions ascertained that Paul
was a citizen of Rome they took him in to custody and protected
him and carried him off to the governor for a Trial...
and the Romans practically =worshipped= The Law...
after all, Jupiter was a sort of an embodiment of such a thing...
who "wins" when you abrogate your principles?
"whatever we can get away with"
yeah i know, that's the "new morallity"
and i know you can "get away with" plenty...
