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
advocat
e
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.

Exactly.
