Yep, that knee really gets a workout, doesn't it?
Let me ask you one thing: Do you think that the government put revenue from the AMT into a special account and never spent it? Of course not. So, absent a corresponding reduction in spending--and what are the odds with a war on?--the difference will be made up by raising present and future taxes on somebody else, and under the present regime, you can bet it won't be business.
If taxation is theft, you're advocating simply shifting the stealing on to somebody else's shoulders. I thought you believed in a level playing field? Sounds more like you think the tilt in the playing field rightfully belongs to the highest bidder. Well, maybe in free-market politics that's how it should be--government of the highest bidder, by the highest bidder, for the highest bidder. The best government money can buy, yessiree.
To the rest of us, though, the word for that is corruption.
