(paraphrased dialogue)
Wife: "Yeah, I would like that method for taxation."
Me: "What?"
Wife: "Why not have something that goes across the board, everyone gets treated the same," she answered."
Me: "You do realize that the 'flat tax' is a Republican ideal and people who are considered wealthy would pay considerably less in taxes than they do now."
Wife: "Well, I would rather have everybody treated the same and make it simple."
Me: "You do realize that you that this makes you closer to becoming a Republican. Come, join the dark side."
Personally, I am more of a National Consumption Tax and get rid of income taxes all together. I found this interaction between us quite amusing. I have to commend her a lot because she does put up with a fair amount of my political rants. Part of the reason I created this forum was to channel my frustrated energy in another direction.

Hi, it's Ruth from jewish_gop.
Are you in the closet bc you're in the Bay Area? Because I have a conservative SF comm that I need more members in. Also I have a conservative_ca comm that also needs more members.
Take care! And thanks for being #94! We're honored!
Also, maybe you can help bring your DW (dear wife) to our side one day ;)
