Welcome to EMTLife!

Uh-oh. Third result is a reddit post....

Woah.

Promoting the general welfare means something different to me than what it means to you. As much as I love to debate, I don't think that anyone would appreciate this portion of the debate going further on this forum.

I do like this solution. I don't know how far it will get though because politicians will see this as a massive decrease in tax revenue to them, even if it is truly the same.

Perhaps it would be best to stop worrying about what others have, and instead, enjoy what you have. If you don't like what you have, then get a better paying job, a second job, an investment, or something else. Yes, that may take years of college education, sacrificing your day or days off, or...
