First heard of on Electrolite....

A Tax Plan to (and From) Space

To the extent that there has been any public discussion of Michael Williams, a 28-year-old Alabama congressional candidate who wants to fund NASA by taxing works of science fiction, two divergent views have emerged.

The first holds that Williams -- a supermarket bagger by day -- is a visionary, a man of innovation and wisdom who thinks years ahead of his time. The second view is less charitable: He's crazy as a loon. Tax science fiction? What is he thinking?
