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.
That is not a flat tax, it is a sales tax.
It's a sales tax but it is flat. It's a flat 23%.
You had better spend some time learning what a flat tax is.
I'm perfectly familiar with a flat tax.
Not sure about that since it has nothing to do with sales.
Sure I do. The "flat tax" has the government deriving its revenue
from the income tax.
Yep....at a flat rate for everybody.
As does the FairTax. Best part is the consumer pays it only when they
buy something. They decide when to pay it, not when the government
decides you owe it on payday.
The FairTax is related because it is a flat sales
tax that generates revenue from sales. It replaces the income tax
as
the method of funding government. If you fully understand the
FairTax
you will see exactly where I am coming from.
Then to keep it from becoming regressive you must drop that sales tax
from certain items, like food, housing, public transportation,
gasoline,
etc.. or you end up with the poor paying a much larger percentage of
their income on those taxes than the wealthy.
Nope, There are two reasons why it's not regressive. First, people
pay no net FairTax at all up to the poverty level. Every household
receives a rebate that is equal to the FairTax paid on essential goods
and services.
How exactly do you determine what are "essential goods and services"
never
mind how much such "essential goods and services" a particular household
requires?
The Department of Health & Human Services’ poverty level guidelines
tel us that. This is a well-accepted, long-used poverty-level
calculation that includes food, clothing, shelter, transportation,
medical care, etc.
Keyword "GUIDELINES"
You do know what a guideline is, right?
