Where are some credible souces to back up any of that innuendo
you k
eep
attempting to push?
Truth is, sure looks like the wealthiest 1% are not paying 42%
of al
l of
governments costs, and sure looks like the top 19% are not
paying ha
lf
of governments costs, until that happens they are NOT paying
their f
air
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
i
s
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 ...
Impossible to implement.
It *might* be possible to implement - in a totalitarian state. *The
government would have to always know what your worth (in terms of
wealth) is at all times, and exactly what you purchase throughout the
year, and when.
Yikes.
I suspect that such a system would encourage a black market or two.
And a MASSIVE tracking system on the income status of over 300 million
people. *Think BIG BROTHER in real time.
Hence my remark that such a system would require a totalitarian state.
