You must be very young, this theory has exhausted
itself time and time again. Be thankful you live in a country with a luxury and not a bannana republic. I don't like it anymore than you but the alternative, 4 X 8 cell, is worse.
You won't be thinking of this when you are crashing through a chicane at 110.

Luxury tax hater.
I couldn't have said it better myself. In a Democracy, Luxury is not a given, Taxes are.
Or, to quote Oliver Wendell Holmes, "Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society." (That quote, among others, is etched in stone on the pediment of the IRS building in Washington).
