Maybe I should be clearer Roland00 - 19/09/2011 02:59:34 AM 697 Views

That works if you get rid of regressive taxes like the sales tax. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:34:07 PM 576 Views

It doesn't have to be Isaac - 21/09/2011 07:45:31 PM 739 Views
Your solution is to tax people's savings? Tax "money storage", so that would be banks, right? Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:29:36 PM 720 Views
I don't recall saying it was my solution Isaac - 25/09/2011 05:01:56 PM 797 Views
