- arcticbull 7y agoI picked a totally arbitrary number. If we sat down for more than the 30s it took me to make this reasonable sounding number up, I'm sure we could find a satisfactory system :)
- not_a_cop75 7y agoAny satisfactory system will be alterable by (a) inflationary practices (b) those scheming to take advantage of loopholes in 10 or less years.
- arcticbull 7y agoUnless you (a) index it to inflation and (b) make an attempt to close loopholes, rather than surrendering at the starting line ^_^
- not_a_cop75 7y agoI like your optimism, but I've failed to witness a law that has never been twisted into some gross contorted display of what it was normally used for at least once.
- Forbo 7y agoSo long as the harm caused by those taking advantage of it is less than the good created by the change, it should still be put in place.
