Solving Global Warming

The government really ought to just nationalize the credit card industry, stop printing cash, and give everyone a free credit card. Then they can take 2.5% of everything that anyone ever spends (instead of AMEX/Visa/MC/etc.) and do away with the dumb income tax system. The savings in overhead, record-keeping, filing, etc. would probably snap the economy right out of the recession. And all those CPA’s could get real jobs and put their math skills toward solving something important like global warming…

P.S., Heck, global warming would probably be solved just by turning off all the computers that are wasting cpu-cycles folding, spindling, and mutilating tax returns today.
