Further insanity prevails with both parties removing large parts of the population from the tax paying rolls. Everyone must have some skin in the game.

Correcto-mundo! People always seem to forget, with their governmental-masters assistance, that there are TWO parts to "taxes": tax RATE and tax BASE. Here in AZ, the "guvamint" brags when they lower the property tax RATE by a % or two - while the property tax BASE has nearly doubled.
Poor dumb Americans. Lotsa time for "American Idol" and little time for serious study.
