AuntiE Loc: 45th Least Free State

Be assured, no one has come up with a more wonky idea on tax reform.

Be assured, the only beverage I have consumed today is the "wine of the South", sweet tea.

It would be my hope that comments be civil and not denigrating. We could actually have fun with this "wonky" plan.

Before the "Citizens Tax Plan", I will start with the budget plan.

An across the board hiring freeze for all federal agencies goes into effect October 1, beginning of the government fiscal year. Excluding Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Veteran's Health Benefits/Pensions, a 12% across the board reduction to all federal agencies. I have NO valid reason for the 12% choice except I liked the number. Remember "wonky"!

Wonky "Citizens Tax Plan:

On January 1st of every year, a list of all Federal Agencies will be issued to citizens. Each agency will provide a five line "bullet" point description of the agency's major functions. A separate list of all agencies (without description) will be included in the package.

On April 15th, each citizen will submit, with their tax package, this agency listing. Each citizen will choose five agencies for which they want their tax money utilized. The end result would be you and I determine what we support. If (my ultimate wish), the Dept. of Education was selected by no one, they cease to exist by the end of the fiscal year.

Hopefully, no one has had to scream "MEDIC". Forum now open.

Remember civil, please.

AuntiE I will have to sleep on this one while trying to digest it.

The phrase "By the tell, for the people" is what created it.

I fully understand it is way way way out there.

You are actually bringing up the underlying main problem with the US government. Its that these politicians go to DC and do wh**ever they want. Very few people actually pay any attention to what their representatives v**e on or for. With the above plan, it gives us (the people) a say in what they do and don't do. If we did not like the war in Iraq, we could de-fund it the following year is what I mean. I think the plan is a good one but we need to be careful that we don't zero-fund an agency and make this into huge management problem. I mean, each agency needs some minimum amount of skeleton funds to hob along on even if we all v**ed it down.

Why do I have to be civil? What's wrong with calling conservatives N**is.

You are calling the wrong party N**i's.

andrew998 Loc: NYC

Well, they keep calling me C*******t and I am far from it.

Like most progs you just couldn't remain civil for one whole post, could you?

I got a real laugh out of that post. I guess you need a rep for it.

You know AuntiE that this plan actually makes some sense. If no one v**ed for the department of homeland security or if they did not meet budget by those giving and designating then they would have to cut by that margin. It would make the departments more aware of we the people that they are there to serve and not they themselves. I love it lets start tomorrow. AuntiE for president.

Are you sure AuntiE is old enough to be President? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
She said she wasn't so old as I said back a way.

andrew998 Loc: NYC

No, I can't possibly be a N**i. Anything but that.

andrew998 Loc: NYC

Just a minute, I saw her first. As a matter of fact she could run Vice Pres under Hillary.

AuntiE meets the age requirements. She said "back a way" she sometimes felt 49 and other times undefined.

Because it is becoming obvious AuntiE has gone wonky bonkerboos, she has mentally already chosen some of her confederates here on the Plaza to be part of her administration.

As a matter of fact, oldroy was the very first person here on the Plaza to welcome me and help me with technical issues. You are an Andrew come lately newbie.

As to "Vice Pres under Hillary", does the phrase ice cubes in perdition have any meaning for you? Failing to understand that try Gehenna will have ice skating available first.
