When a city government puts a manger scene on the city hall lawn that is not government support of a religion.
So you are calling that support of mangers? A manger scene is symbolic of one of THE iconic events in Christianity, so how is that not supporting Christianity???

I don't have a problem if cities states of the federal government "honored" everyone who has a religious preference with a blurb about their religion (or lack thereof), be it wiccan, voodoo Christianity or Islam. There is no need for a SC case as every religion is supported.

Rather than a progressive income tax, which is a disincentive to create wealth, a better tax policy would be a flat tax of say 5%, with no exemptions, and the first $50,000 of income is not taxed. The rich already pat most of the income taxes collected. Increasing the taxes on them will not help anyone.
You should read county tax books from the 1790's and on. There has always been a progressive tax on wealth in this country. Whether it is good bad or ugly is not the question. It tries to be equitable. If you are wealthy it was presumed you could afford to pay more. After all most of the wealthy were business men or large farmers who prevailed on local, state and federal governments to enacts laws to benefit them in their pursuit of wealth. And guess what? government was more than happy to comply.

The money that is taxed by Unified Gift and Estate Tax has already been taxed!
Based on that argument no money should be taxed. Brilliant. See if you can figure out how nothing is taxable.

You ARE trying to convince me I am correct when I concluded conservatives simply do not want government but a Darwinian death match.

More government programs are not the answer!
You are correct.

BETTER PROGRAMS ARE REQUIRED!!!!
