The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

These recent taxation posts on this board invariably have the respective individual observers point of view of where the tax monies should be gathered. Senator Russell Long’s famous quote perhaps captures it best.

Senator Russell B. Long quoted in Money in July 1973, “Don't tax you, don't tax me, tax the fellow behind the tree,” appearing in many versions; the idea is to tax somebody else to raise the revenue the government seeks, not me.Aug 23, 2024
