When someone takes my money and gives it to someone else who needs it to go to school, that's called "re-distribution". There's no two ways about it.
I don't, in fact, have a problem with taxes. They are required to make the country function. However, on a federal level the entire government was initally intended to do things that the states cannot provide individually for themselves. The classic example here is National Defense. Taxes are only the means to this end (providing national services). An end that's been perverted beyond all recognition. -Cameron On 10/9/06, Dana Tierney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > no it's not a redistribution of wealth, however, in a sense it does create > wealth ( or more precisely the possibility of wealth) when you build > infrastructure. > > It is possible to have the economy that we do in the US because Eisenhower > built the interstate system, possible in a way that it is not currently > possible in Afghanistan.
