    I thought you were all pro-freedom :confused:.

    Personally i think every good should be taxed the same, otherwise governments abuse their powers. Certain behaviours should never be taxed.

    A 100% inheritance tax.

    If you didn't earn it, you don't deserve it.

    Women's clothes. If they're too expensive they'll be forced to go everywhere naked. Hilarity will ensue.

    That is all

    All products you buy have tax on them, and you get taxed on your wage.

    Why would you possibly want to tripe tax ANYTHING.

    In the past maybe, but I doubt the tripe tax would generate any revenue nowadays :)

    I'm with the tax on stupid pointless threads. We'd easily get through the recession if they were taxed.

    how about taxing women for every child they have out of wedlock. Now there's a thought! draconian as it may sound, it'd solve a few problems.....no doubt it would improve the gene pool? what about the social housing issue? we seem to be a nation that commends rather than penalises.
