Hey no problem.  By the way.... how many fingers am I holding up? ;-)

Actually I don't really understand your complaint.  I'm trying to get
across the idea that government is payed exactly for the services it
provides.  That means if one person consumes an average of X dollars a
year then each person should pay only X dollars a year in taxes for
those services irregardless of his income.  Sounds pretty much like
government existing for the people to me.
