    It is recorded the same way we pay for local sales tax now. It shows up on my receipt every time. Go figure.

    As for the bartering or hand shake purchases (i.e. old book). This will remain our freedom. You don’t exchange title for books and things of that nature when it passes from one individual to the next.

    And a half cent tax for the best education and research (i.e. Science and Technology, conservation and exploration).

    Intruducing apprenticeships for certain trades at much earlier ages. Hands on learning with well equiped learning environments.

    End the ADHD delima of our society and get kids the 1 on 1 learning they need. Get our kids off dope that does nothing more but control their behavior and conform them to a pen and paper in the class room (closed off from the world).

    We are already paying taxes for Nat Defense thru our normal Fed taxes. I would be interested in seeing if it is fiscally possible to do what Squire is suggesting. If we charge 1 cent for every item purchased in a store, if that would cover all the medical. But there would be two other things that would need to be addressed. If there is a surplus on that cent tax, where would it go? How could we prove that the surplus is being spent (or not being spent, depending on what the American people deside is best) on what its allocated for? And to address medical for illegal’s, would they have to show proof of citizenship before they could get treatment? I don’t see how that would be ethical. If they are bleeding to death, they have to have medical treatment, regardless if they have a means to pay or not. Yea, they broke the law and are here illegally, but they are still people none the less. Man that sounded really liberal. I think I need a shower now, I feel dirty.

    .71 cents of every dollar goes to the insurance industry.
    .01 cent goes to future emergency fund.
    That’s .80 cents gone before any claims are paid.
    This program only helps the insurance industry.
    They are using the increase in policies to pay back the 20 billion dollar note to the treasury.
    In assents’ they are using your money to paid you back.
    The goose that laid the golden egg….fema

    Let’s stop this waste.

    Let’s help balance the budget.

    Let’s cut this wasteful federal program.

    Tell your Congressman and Senators not to fund the NFIP.

    Stop the National Flood Insurance Program.

    As a retired disable veteran I constantly face delays in our governments policies and procedures. It always amazes me how we can afford to pay our congressmen and senators to sit in judgement of issues that have been passed in the past and delay re-passing in the future, same issue same problem. Flood insurance is needed whether its today or next year. To waste our (meaning me) time and money while they argue about the same issue is simply a waste of valuable time and effort. Time and effort that should be used to address such issues as the homeless and starving people in our own country. Where are your priorities congress? Stop harping on day to day issues that have once been already decided. There are far greater issues that need resolving than what you are just killing time with a flood issue. You were voted into office by the people of this great country now urn your money and stop wasting my time.
