can a Newt support please justify the feasibility of his desire for a sound commodity backed monetary policy and his desire to colonize the moon in 8 years?
Thats a fair question because when we look at the current American system of entitlements and the tax rates I also have a couple of questions about who's going to pay for a rejuvenation of the manned space program...
How much more as a percentage of my income I'm going to have to pay in taxes to fund such a thing?
Or are we going to cut off some of the entitlements to try and keep taxes at the present rates? If so, which entitlements are we going to cut?
All legit questions
I think socialism is the culprit here. I also think if, we flush the entitlements and we return to a world of reasonable taxes and a manned space program. The problem is, we can't actually do any of that in a practical sense because of the entrenched bureaucracy in the legislative and judicial branches, and the simple fact that half of the people living in America are benefiting in one way or another from the same entitlements we'd need to cut.
