So it's ok to tax poor people at a higher rate than rich people... because?
He's a rich person.

the post contains the usual idiocy from the left. Its people like you who want to keep others enslaved.
Turtle - you are a smart and educated man. You know darn well there is no cost of citizenship or its benefits.
Actually, it was a completely accurate statement. We had this fight that you on the FAR RIGHT want to keep waging about a strong central government 150 years ago. Lee surrendered and the Confederacy is no more. You need to get over it.
taxes are the price we pay for civilization

and you have yet to tell me why some people should be excused from paying their share just because they have votes
I have repeatedly took the position that ALL earners from dollar ONE should pay federal income tax.
Should we not only abolish the Income Tax, but make it impossible to have it come back?
Please take a look at the options and state what you think.
The Fair Tax - In short: National Sales tax on all NEW goods and services purchased by consumers; advanced refund of all taxes paid up to poverty level for residents. Administrated by state, no IRS audits or filing, No deductions for anyone.
National Flat Tax - Sales tax applied to goods & services
Value Added Tax - "sales" tax added everytime a product changes from one person to another
I ask this because I think because I feel our current system is completely corrupt and unsalvageble, primarily due to the fact that neither side can trust their or the other sides politicians to actually "Fix" it without putting in their own rules on how they believe it should operate.
I used to be for a flat tax; but I don't want to see the poor suffer as they would under it, and then need additional social programs to compensate. Why not let them keep their money to begin with?
The Fair Tax has some rules, but I feel is the simplist tax plan that will accomplish the most good, remain difficult to manipulate, protect the lowest earner, and apply the same rules to everyone. No more financial discrimination.
Please feel free to express thoughts and ideas. I'm looking for solutions; not arguements.
