Many of the benefits you list are mostly Federal money administered by states. Perhaps you would be happier if the Feds invested 5 or 10 percent of the taxes you pay on advertising all the wonderful things your taxes accomplish? I bet most people would be willing to pay more taxes if they knew more about what the money was used for. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
