so we should be able to get a bipartisan bill to END earmarksWhat I think would be fair is to divide the budget by every man, woman, and child living in the US regardless of income, and that would be the tax.
I bet things would change quickly.Seeing-as-how "conservatives" are such States' Rights advocates, we should (first) identify which states got the most earmarks (to establish their percentage of spending).....then divide by every man, woman, and child....
A lot o' Red-Staters might have some issues with the concept.....
I like this version.......
