Where are some credible souces to back up any of that innuendo
you keep attempting to push?

Truth is, sure looks like the wealthiest 1% are not paying 42%
of all of governments costs, and sure looks like the top 19%
are not paying half of governments costs, until that happens
they are NOT paying their fair share ... a flat tax can fix
that ...

I already said the tax data is at irs.gov

Now, as for a flat tax I agree with you 100%. The one I
advocate is the FairTax.
Let me put this more bluntly. If I buy and item and pay 7% sales
tax,
the top one percent should buy an item and pay a 42.7% sales tax,
that
way they will be contributing their fair share to run government
...

And how do you know that at the time of purchase?
You set up a system which handles it ... where they pay their fair
share
of the cost of government.
IOW, when buying a pack of gum at a Stop-N-Rob, you have to go
through a check on your income so they know how much tax to charge?

C'mon, even you can't be that stupid.



The flat tax, the flat tax, I thought you would be able to catch on
... I was wrong.

Oh, flat tax, then they should pay 7% tax just like EVERYONE
ELSE....not the 42.7% you asserted they should be paying.





I'm not sure that John is knowledgable enough to contune this thread. He
seems to be stuck on the emotion of the discussion rather than on the
practicality or complexity of installing what he wants.
