After reading the NASA thread, with most of you complaining about it's budget cuts, what would you all cut. And try be specific and give reasons, not one word answers. Also would you bring in new taxes, cut them, or what?
I personally would cut funding from the war on drugs, it's a total failure and costs a frickin fortune.
I would also bring in a bankers tax on bonuses(if you dot already have it). A way of clawing back some money from their disastrous fuckups.
Also I would bring in a progressive personal tax system. For example in the UK we have £7500 tax free, then 20% up to £35000 then after that it's 40% for £35k and up, then at £150000 and up it's 50%. some hate it, but I think the rich should have some social responsibility or the lowest in the system would suffer and enter poverty. They can afford the tax whereas the lowest earners in society cannot.
