FP is in for a rude awakening as he gets older. I'm betting his views will change dramatically because right now he is completely FOS.

"These corporations provide things called "jobs" and when you tax them too much they relocate to other countries where they don't have to pay so much and the jobs go with them. These corporations also provide most goods and services in the market. The people who work for these corporations pay taxes, the people who own the corporation pays taxes and then the corporation pays taxes some more. They are actually double taxed already and can't afford to pay more, they will just relocate or shut down."

Most major Corps pay little to no tax. That's a fact jack. They relocate because of cheap wages, no benefits and lax regulations evironmentally or otherwise. If you really believe it's all double taxation then ONLY corps would be paying taxes. Corps don't provide anything that we the people don't pay for. It's not out of the goodness of their heart.

"Also, I think it's unfair to say that the "rich" pay little to no taxes. According to the IRS, the people making more than $200,000 paid about $.5 trillion in taxes out of $2.3 trillion collected. That's 21% of all taxes collected, paid by 1.5% of the population. Which is already way more than their fair share, yet for some reason you characterize them as paying "very little tax." Can you back that assertion up with any actual facts?"

You have really crossed over into RWWJ land. So what's your tax plan? We all pay the same flat fee regardless of income?

"Cutting the social security and medical programs by 1/3rd by shaving off benefits going to the most well off is actually going to SAVE the program for the poor old grannies who actually need it."

I bet you don't realize you are promoting socialism here. Equality for everyone. I like it.
