Yeah, a lot of things are "impossible", up until someone does it

Let's put it another way.......the cost of a system to do that would
be a
magnitude more cost than any resultant tax received. You don't
think things through very far, do you. Typical Democrat, if we can
find a way
to
stick it to some wealthy guy, we don't give a damn what it costs.



Flat tax ... with exemptions for those who can't afford housing,
food, medical, etc.

You say flat tax, and then turn right around and make it an unflat
tax.

You need to make up your mind which it's going to be. Flat or not.


Space isn't flat, why should tax be?

Prove space isn't flat.

You do understand what a "theory" is, right?


Not theory.
Experimental fact without which
GPS satellites would not keep the correct time.

What evidence is there that supports the theory of curved space? What does
General Relativity predict about the shape of space-time near a large mass
(eg, a star)?

The Answer
There has been experimental evidence for the curvature of spacetime by a
massive object since the early part of this century (1922), when observers
set out to test the predictions of general relativity. During a solar
eclipse, they realized, the light from stars in the same general area of
the sky as the Sun are visible during the day. If light from these stars
is affected by the curvature of spacetime due to the Sun's mass, then this
would be measurable as a deflection (or a change in location) of the
star's position on the sky. The stars closer to the position of the Sun in
the sky would suffer a larger deflection; in general the deflection would
be proportion to the stars distance from the Sun's location on the sky.
This effect was observed for 15 stars during the solar eclipse of 1922 in
Western Australia, and was interpreted as observational verification of
the predictions of general relativity. General relativity predicts that
spherical masses deform spacetime in much the same way a lead ball would
deform the surface of a rubber sheet. It is this deformation that causes
the planets to orbit the Sun, and the Moon to orbit the Earth. In fact,
all orbital motion is the result of bodies being affected by the curvature
of the spacetime in which they move.
