  • You’re looking at it from the wrong side. Imagine a politician saying, “we’re starting a new tax, 20% of your income”. You ask why, what’s it for and he says “everything!” how keen are you for that?

    All taxes were created one at a time and sold to people individually. Politicians said “we need money for x, we need to tax y to pay for it”. Run for office on a platform of eliminating all taxes with your omnibus tax reforms and we’ll see how it goes.


  • I think because when a tax is getting implemented the people want to know exactly why they pay it and what it’s for.

    Here we have school boards that manage a very large area of many schools. The taxes of many municipalities pool to fund many schools. These tax systems are old and probably very hard to change. I’m sure there are better ways to do things but the political might to change the system isn’t there.







  • Try it with something flat, like shoelaces. It makes a tube like a Chinese finger trap. To do it the way they mean you bring the Weaver around the back, between the two on the other side and then back to the bottom of the side it started on. You’re kind of getting the same effect, but not really. One Weaver should be making a helix down the braid. I think your Weaver is changing direction. (Sorry, textile geek here)

    Certainly doesn’t matter, I’m sure it tastes great either way!
