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 ... 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 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. -- Sleep well tonight....RD (The Sandman) If you woke up this morning.... Don't complain. |
