That's true, but there are liberals today who still agree with what the liberals in Jeffersons time thought. I suspect that Clay is one of them, and I am probably not that far off myself.

I kind of liked the tax plan I had under the what we would do as Prez thread. You get taxed on the value of what you buy, and big items like property, cars, and so on would be taxed annually.
