A government cannot survive without taxes. Doing it fairly, now that is another matter.

Here in the U.S. we spend <i>billions</i> every year in "tax compliance" costs, because of our huge tax code. There is a proposal in the House of Representatives to replace the tax code with a 23% inclusive sales tax, removing all corporate and individual income and capital gains taxes. A monthly prebate will be sent to every family for taxes on spending up to the "poverty level", i.e. the amount of money that must be spent on necessities.

I hope this goes through. Income tax is a really bad way to do things...

Even if the penalty is successful, isn't it a bit harsh? One "libelous" document that is probably true anyway results in a domain name getting shut down?

Wow, shutdown all the websites where I have stored and posted signatures with an unflattering quote of her Shrillaryness.

Again, Microsoft gets away with releasing alpha-quality software that isn't even compatible with their own applications. My servers at home have never lost a single piece of data.

They run Linux, and it took me two minutes to set each one up. Anyone who says that setting up a Linux anything is difficult (certain hardware issues aside) should be forever banned from using computers. Something like a court can declare someone insane and take away their voting rights.
