That strange American id, that's obsessed with being protected by a strong leader, appreciates that kind of thing and the GOP just lost its corner on that market.

I don't speak for anyone but myself, and I give Obama credit for making sure the the job got done. There were some risks but he did not seem to waiver or hesitate. I like that in leadership.

If you or your firm wants to hire me, I'd be more than happy to talk to you and share my more detailed thoughts on the subject. Until then, generally speaking a system can be structured in many ways to exempt taxation on poor people spending money on basic necessities. Can you acknowledge that it is possible to do that? A system can be developed that does not require excessive sales taxes. If given a blank slate as a starting point, the possibilities are endless and in many ways we can improve on our current system. Perhaps, as in the world cliches, it requires thinking outside of the box.
