    Zebra X sez:

    what about whole countries that distribute history books that are written to conform to the ruling parties doctrines?

    My initial reaction was the simple:

    Do you know of any countries that distribute history books that don't conform to the ruling party doctrines?

    My second reaction was: have you heard of regimes that teach Physics, Chemistry, and Biology that don't correspond to reality?

    A better tax idea would be the Fair Tax plan. The idea is to abolish all forms of taxes except one, the retail sales tax. And by all taxes, I do mean all. No income taxes, no business to business taxes, none. Just a sales tax on items you purchase.
    Strange. I live in a country with a system almost like this.

    I pay a 20.3% sales tax.

    Over 50% of households pay no income tax.

    I, personaly, pay almost no income tax.

    Where is this minarchist wonderland? Why, France of course.

    P.S. we don't have that wierd business of over-taxing "unearned" income either. I get a TAX REBATE because some part of my income comes as dividends.
