Well, there are very few flaws with what it, overall, a pretty good piece.

I especially like the list of taxes, although some of them DID exist 100 years ago (just not as high as they are now). We DID have liquor and property taxes, as an example. And 100 years ago we were NOT the most prosperous nation in the world, but we WERE well on our way to becoming that. We DID have a national debt (though peanuts compared to now) and we were in the process of breaking up gargantuan multi-national monopolies with new anti-trust laws (the Standard Oil decision will celebrate it's 100th anniversary on May 15th).
