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 ... Regards, JS 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 ... http://sociology.ucsc.edu/whorulesam...er/wealth.html 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. A flat tax is on income. It replaces the current method of calculating income tax by applying the same tax rate to all income not just wages and salaries. I gave an example of it here in this thread. Did you take the time to read it? It is really quite simply and quite short so you should have no problem understanding it.  What you proposed above is a sales tax and it sure as hell isn't flat. A flat sales tax would be the same percentage on whatever was purchased and no matter who purchased it. You need to learn a bit more before you venture out into the real world. Everyone paying their fair share, this is how the discussion began, or, basically, everyone being equally taxed. Let's see person A buys product Z and pays 7% in taxes. Person B buys product Z and pays 7% in taxes What's more fair than that? Same product, same taxes paid. Fair. Or a person earns $50K and is taxed 15% on amount over federal poverty level. Another person earns $500K and is taxed 15% on amount over federal poverty level. Same percentage on taxable income paid. Fair. The big problem with sales taxes is what is taxed. How about food or necessities? Food stamps? Now you begin to list exemptions....and the list goes on......Thanks, Sonny and Cher...... Yep, you either put sales tax EVERYTHING equally, or the system is automatically no longer fair. |
