We need to start taxing foreigners living abroad.
Edited on Thu Jun-24-10 08:01 PM by SunnySong
That is the solution of at least one man in the street. What is your solution taxing people standing in water... taxing Rachael Welch... Taxing the wealthy that live off of dead ancestors dividends and give money to politicians for bigger tax breaks...

I mean if I give 1 million to a political party and then I receive 230 million in tax breaks that is just good business right?

If we tax the rich who will fill our campaign coffers and take us golfing in Scotland they will stop giving us money and taking us on free trips.

I say we tax foreigners living abroad... and if that doesn't work we just cut spending for the poor. They never donate to our campaigns.

4. I'm sorry, don't most foreigners live abroad?
What am I missing? I thought that was part of the definition.

As for fullproof. It''s how I check out my cunning plan.

(Sorry about the spelling I was posting from work and those planes won't land themselves.)

8. A smidge... but also the reason it is easier to cut spending on the poor
rather than raise taxes on the rich.
