Why didnt you vote!!!???? My income is not dependent on the US economy or it's interaction with Geo-politics. So, the ramifications of your local elections has less to do with my interest, although I maintain my US citizenship. My teem of lawyers effectively allow me to pay zero tax in the USA. The incompetence of our government's ability to match the change in technology has made it obvious that a straight tax would be highly effective. (modified with an exception for anyone below the poverty level, have to leave ourselves a loophole <muahahhaa>). But, it is so much more easier to donate to both sides and let them fight it out in battledome.
