hotatlboi, that would be unconstitutional

"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"

Well I was just curious as to what you were proposing, since your statement seemed to just be a general condemnation of any government spending.

hotatlboi, the perception of 'waste fraud and abuse' in the fed gov't is around 50c on the dollar. Although it is hard to get concrete numbers most people in the know say it is less than that. Around 20?

My guess would be 15%-20%.

Clearly, you are not that familiar with the federal budget breakdown if you think waste is 50%.

Perhaps that is the perception, but it's not the reality.

Why do you believe I might "think" that?

Yeah that is what I said.

Where do you get your information that it's half of all money spent?

Ah, my bad. Sorry, I didn't read your post correctly.

Yes 20% seems more reasonable. I know there is a lot of waste in defense spending which is around there.

Perception

Perception

Oh for the love of Christ, I know what perception means. Don't be a troll.

Thinking (or "perception") isn't real. It's what you think. Doesn't prove anything.

Why are you always mad?

See below

Most Americans think the federal government wastes more than half of the tax dollars it collects, according to a recent Gallup Poll.

On average, the guesstimate of waste is 51 cents of every dollar, the highest level going back at least 32 years that Gallup has been asking the question.

Apparently you don't kinow what it means, because you got it wrong in your original response -- you referred to ity as "information".
