The Whole 'Tax Versus No Tax' Thing

In this day and age, very few people want no taxes at all.  I mean, there probably are some, but they're not serious.  (Without taxes what are we going to do: get around on Imperial Walkers?  Not that roads are the only thing the Feds do for us.)

The simplest thing I can suggest to Tax Agnostics is this: take something that we take for granted at present: like, say, the FDA (the food and drug administration).  Yes, I know: most conservatives hate this office.  What do they do?  Spend huge amounts of tax money to figure out, infinitesimally slowly, whether new drugs are dangerous, or whether they're effective.

The GOP is probably fine with having some private company do that for us.  Of course, the patients can pay for the service, right?  Think about that.  It would be easy for the drug companies to give these testing labs a lot of money, and just make them feel the obligation to go easy on the biggest contributors.  (That has happened, but the memory is so painful, we try to forget that it happened.  Officials of the FDA had been bribed, if I'm not mistaken.  They were fired.)
