Ok, I'll keep this short as I have children running rampant downstairs . . . .
My feelings on the Wall Street chaos, et al:
It starts with massive simplification of the tax code. Period.
Every individual, every company, every corporation outside of those running non-profits should pay a flat tax on income. Period. No accountants to put off the books, no fancy loop-hole tax code.
Money In - X% = Taxes you owe
So many people cheat on thier taxes now - simplify it, make people accountable, prosecute those to the fullest extent of the law who break it, and you'll be set.
So much more, but I must attend to my family . . . check out my posts at http://www.bikurgurl.blogspot.com . . . .
