On the eve of the last debate, an idea
McCain and Obama are debating one last time tonight. Meanwhile, the stock market is down 700+ points today. I’m voting for Obama but I also think that no matter who is elected, they’re going to have a tough time of it without raising taxes in some way. So here’s my idea: institute a federal sales tax, say, of 1-2% on everything - everything, including Internet goodies. No fuss, no muss, no weasling out of it because you have a really good accountant. I know, I know, it’s not very complicated and there are no earmarks or entitlements or other doublethink nonsense. But just think about it - it’s an easy way for everybody to pay their fair share AND actually generate revenue rather than just spend it.

Where’s the petition, I’ll sign up. And I’m sorry but can Obama just win already?! Watching the debates and listening to the breakdowns on XM Radio is making my head explode. Enough!
