Measure T would allow unlimited taxation for any
purpose as
long as the party, group or entity taxed is not included in
the
database of those who voted for this measure.
These taxed entities could be individuals or corporations
and
the taxes raised could be in any amount and used for
any
purpose.
This would be a windfall for those who are savvy enough
to
vote for it and subsequentlly get listed in the "Do not
tax"
database.
It might also be the first ballot measure ever to get 100%
of the vote.

actually this could be a great "sponsor" type thing on the
check you get from the government. |
|
| |
I'm thinking "This section of the road is brought to you by
the asshole who lives up the street and insists on having pink
flamingos on his lawn" |
|
| |
I'm thinking the idea needs a little more work put
into the marketing. |

We've got an election coming up and the ads are
along the lines of. "Proposition S keeps furry little
squirrels safe and happy and stops the practice of
gathering them up and dropping them into
volcanos. If you love squirrels vote yes on
proposition S!" while the other side says
"Proposition S says it will save furry squirrels, when
it actually takes them and throws them all into a
wood chipper. If you love furry little
squirrels, vote no on proposition S." Then I have to
become an expert on the stupid subject matter
that they're throwing in front of me. |

Maybe it's time for an emperor. As long as I can be
the emperor, except that I don't want to be so
never mind. |
|
| |
Not Emperor...
...Sovereign. |
|

It has fewer harsh consonants and rolls more easily off the tongue.
'sides, it's not the ruling part you don't want so much as the eventual butcher-knife-holder status that comes along with it.
Fess up. |

That and I've always had a problem with authority.
Strutting around with their hats. |
|
| |
Shiny jewel encrusted hats, hats with badges, tall
hats that look like a foot tall egg on your head
(Pope only). |
|
| |
Put a big hat on and rule those around you, that's
how
civilizations work. |
|
| |
Look at the Cat In The Hat. Walked in
with his big striped hat and started telling
everybody what's what. It's simply not possible to
wear a big had and not oppress everybody around
you. Try it. Impossible. |
|
| |
Explains why people become instant shits with those red ball caps... |
|
| |
Extreme nationalism is clearly the key since everyone is doing it
nowadays. Quick, someone go find an archduke to shoot... |
|
| |
Maybe tax the last person to raise their hand up and say 'not it!' |
|
| |
Well... I believe in Minarchism and I've been oppressed enough to not want to dish it out so... |
|
| |
...I figure my odds are better than average, but absolute power corrupts absolutely sure enough, so checks and ballances would need to evolve. A united humanity under one rule is our ultimate logical outcome barring annihilation.
Our present situation is untenable. |
|
| |
We're talking about your sovereign campaign not mine. |
|
| |
//Maybe tax the last person to raise their
hand up and say 'not it!'// |
|
| |
That would be a way to get people motivated to
vote. |
|
| |
As far as my sovereign campaign, I vow to reign
supreme over all my dominions of the Earth as long
as I get a lunch break and a staff to do all the
work. Also a company car, something flashy. Ohh,
and what do you call those little sandwiches?
Petifores? Those are pretty cool. Can I still eat at
Taco Bell or would this be below my station? |
|
| |
You eat at Taco Bell? That explains everything. I can't afford such
niceties... |
