Right. That would be the whole point. All the people who want the govt to provide health care and ponies for children or whatever would have to step back and say "damn, this costs a ton of money. Maybe it would be better if I kept it and took care of myself." Instead of blindly forking it over.

You're such an optimist. I would guess the reaction would be more along the lines of "Damn, this costs a ton of money. Why aren't they taking more from rich people, I can't afford this!"

Probably true. But what I keep preaching to people that will listen is that knowledge is power. If you could see in real dollars what government services cost you by writing that check for it I think people would really start to think twice about wanting and supporting big government.
