We also didn't have a populance expecting Gov't handouts and "entitlements" and "programs". Between FDR's un-Constitutional seizure of private holdings of gold to LBJ's "Great Society" to the current President Bushs' payments to 9/11 suvivors to NPR to NEA to foreign aid to wet lands conservation easements, (which I took advantage of), to bailing out the S+L's/airlines/Mexico to....... You get the idea. We all complain about taxes but who will volunteer to give up their "fair share"? No it doesn't help that there are numerous court mandated programs and awards, or that the cost of living always increases, or that the standard answer to any problem is for the Gov't to throw piles of $$$ at it. Add in trade deficits caused by unfair trade practices, over-zealous unions, plain old greed, laziness and price cutting. There's also the problem of Gov't officials who abuse the system for all they can, (PORK), so they get re-elected. A few years ago Readers Digest published an article which noted that we were still paying a tax to pay for the Spanish American War! The Rural Electrification Administration was reported to have an annual budget in the tens of millions and yet hadn't had a project since 1966. Until we get REAL reformers in National and State Gov't we are stuck with the system we've allowed to flourish. The really sad part is that it's still the BEST system the world has ever known. God bless America.
