[QUOTE="soonerwings, post: 1618127, member: 8035"] Government money will always come from taxes. The only thing to really argue about as to how it is obtained and where it comes from is the preferred tax structure. Personally, I wish our progressive income tax system would be scrapped in favor of the fair tax. I'm very much supportive of taxing people based on how much they consume from the economy (how much they take from the economy) rather than taxing them on income (a measure of their input to the economy). As you may surmise, I'm a huge fan of the Fair Tax proposal. As to whether the "legitimate causes" are beneficial to the whole population or a select group, I've always favored goods that are truly public in nature. That is to say goods that have the characteristics of non-exhaustion and non-exclusion. Ideally, those transferring the money (the ones that WE elect to do so) are trying to do the right thing. There will always be crooks, that's just a sad by product of living in a fallen world. However, there will always be good guys in the government too. [/QUOTE]
