Since my husband can't post since we only have one computer I'm posting this for him. In no way does what he thinks reflect on my thoughts.Phillipa, Here goes. Gold and money can be used for trading, true, however the artifacts that were constructed years ago constructed of gold wouldn't be here if they were constructed with paper. Electricity would not flow effortlessly through paper but gold is one of the best conductors. In my opinion only, I disagree with the rest of your post because that is the premise that has made the USA the most powerful in the World with the best standard of living. This country was based on equal opportunity for all it never says that we are all created equal. If this was true we'd all be the same without variety. As far as taxes I don't like them and oppose the way our money is spent. That is how our government choses to spend the money.The taxes you pay are the dues you pay to live in this country. A flat tax would bring a more simple and fair way to collect taxes. The crooks would lose a lot of business. Greg
