The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

As I said, the system needs an overhaul.

I would favor a provision that every proposal passed by Congress needs to have a price tag, and a line that enacts some form of revenue (tax) associated with it. You don't specify a tax, you can't get your proposal/program. That way they can't spend that extra dime per dollar.

But it still comes down to revenue. The lower and middle class can't sustain that burden. The middle class already is creaking a bit under the strain. It's got to be the wealthy class, and we need to stop allowing them to shield their assets from taxation.
