I would be a fan of a flat tax with few deductions. That type of system would have to be applied to all including businesses and corporations without the class warfare bs. The plan would have a much lower tax rate for all.... There are many pros and cons like no incentives for investments or home ownership.Now I already know the objection that is rooted in the old rich vs poor...that would be that it isn't fair for people who "can afford it" to pay the same as those who can't afford it.

If I make a million dollars from my own hard work and pay 10% that is $100,000. If you chose to work for the government and earn an honest living of say $50,000, you pay $5,000.

I don't like excess welfare and am not against all help for people in need. I am against cell phones for the "homeless" and voice mail accounts for the "homeless". I am against lifetime welfare.

Right now alot of the folks who make the least pay no taxes. They are the ones that Democrats complain about in terms of being left out of the tax reduction legislation...They want a tax cut and don't pay taxes in the first place.

And finally I posted the tax info because I get sick of the carping about how the rich get all the breaks, when the facts bear out that they pay most of the taxes. OK by many but those folks may be the ones who are looking for a sugar daddy in government. I prefer to make it on my own.
