Ok, let's take all that stuff which I'll call "market infrastructure costs". In other words, a market at it's highest definition is a place that attracts and therefore brings together buyers and sellers. This market infrastructure is very useful to both sellers and buyers, but it ain't free. The market-maker has infrastructure costs. In our current systems we call these market costs, taxes. Eg., income tax is the cost to the seller for market and sales tax is the cost to the buyer. Broadening out, you can add in the other taxes you reference. For example you could say (whether you agree or not) that social security tax or minimum wage attempts to ensure a minimum level of buyer for the seller and is therefore a market infrastructure cost. I'm assuming you wouldn't agree with that, so, to prove your point, why don't you detail out those market infrastructure costs you think are legitimate and then tie them to a broader fiscal policy and explain how that would preserve markets and thus grow wealth ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:337876 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
