Ummm, if you want to eliminate taxes and have a small government, please take a look at those countries that have that right now. The poster child for this is Greece.

That's not my views actually I am more of a liberal to be honest. I say I have no idea which way we are going in the 2016 election because of the increased bipartisanship in government. George Washington only had one piece of advice when he left office, that political parties would be the downfall of the nation. It seems he is better at predicting the future than Nostradamus.

I'd be interested in seeing Elizabeth Warren take a run at it, though I doubt I'd vote for her over Clinton in a primary, I just think she'd be nice to see in a debate. Perhaps 2020?

My ideal candidate, although I know he'd never win, is Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson. He's smart, patient, and personable. Win-win-win.

Don't sweat the petty stuff, pet the sweaty stuff.

You know you really want me as Empress. An absolute monarchy with over tones of naughty goings on.

My understanding of one of Greece's main issues was the glut of their governmental work force.....They were forced to shrink the size of it causing an even greater number of it's citizens to hit the unemployment line.....

revenue collection is not a civic virtue in Greece. Income taxes are pretty universally ignored in Greece. Payment of. They don't enforce a lot of their civil code that governs businesses and business conduct. Making dealing there a matter of payoffs for licensing and other standards enforcement. But it opens the way as far as businesses are concerned.

Lax enforcement is both a boon and a curse to businesses. Opens the way to free wheeling but also doesn't provide protection to businesses.

So the government doesn't have a lot of the revenue that it needs. Striking a balance between a Wild West, every one for oneself, and a big brother environment is the ideal, and what most countries have. Laws and enforcement, regulations and enforcement benefit everyone. Remove that and you have fewer businesses, the government borrows lots, and can't pay down its debt. There are fewer jobs and you eventually get what Greece has, a mess.
