We don't punish white collar crime for the same reasons. If you made it illegal to get outside money for politicians, and made the punishment significant, the rats would scurry and "normal" people could get involved in the pr

No serious reputable anything has ever found a flat tax to be anything but a huge giveaway to the rich as well. Just fund the IRS and stop letting the foxes run the hun house, ie. get money out of politics and stop letting a few people and

1) it's a whole other discipline 2) software is often made in a little enclave without outside input until the very end on how a user would interact, at which point it becomes a shoe-horned mess. Overly broad, but pretty much my exper
