Flat tax all the way. Exemption up to say $40k/yr and 15% on every dollar earned after that no matter how it's earned. This has worked well in E.European countries that adopted it. It is the fairest tax of all. It does not use the tax code as a device to redistribute wealth, which is why liberals oppose it. It is simple and amounts to a tax cut because the time spent in preparation is much less. I dont see how anyone without an agenda can oppose it.

"a tax merely proportionate to individual income would be far from equitable; and this is probably what Smith meant, by declaring it reasonable, that the rich man should contribute to the public expenses, not merely in proportion to the amount of his revenue, but even somewhat more. For my part, I have no hesitation in going further, and saying, that taxation can not be equitable, unless its ratio is progressive."
-- Jean Baptiste Say; from A Treatise on Political Economy Bk. III, Ch.VIII
THe guy who wrote that was british and he thought that Americans should not complain about paying a stamp tax.
Are we talking about Say or Smith?
Flat taxes are regressive, and the clock does not run backwards, boys, much as you would wish that it would. A flat tax is never fair. Like it or not, that is a goal of your society, attempting, many times, to be fair.
You would have enjoyed my Adam Smith was a Marxist thread, and this game isn't free. You are allowed to make a lot of money here. For that there is a price to be paid called taxes. Progressive income taxes, which imply fairness, are part of the deal.Flat taxes are regressive, and the clock does not run backwards, boys, much as you would wish that it would.

Progress implies their is a goal. What is the goal here? Please drop the pretext of fairness because it doesn't really seem fair to steal what someone else earns for themselves. Personally, I wish you would drop off the face of the earth so we can stop hearing these arguments but you exist so we have to deal with the marxist ghost of the past.
Term limits, a tennis racket for a fly and keeps the people from voting their choice.A flat tax is about as popular to the Left-heads as term limits,voter ID and working for a living.
Just curiousThe interest on the national debt is almost a trillion dollars per year. Pay off the debt, and everyone's taxes will be lower. Don't pay it and money becomes worthless. The debt must be paid by those that have the money....corporations and the rich. They ran up the debt, and should pay it off instead of leaving it for future generations. THERE ARE NO POOR IN CONGRESS!!
Well, it would be pointless, and the rightwingers wouldn't support it, if it didn't...I've never seen a flat tax proposal that doesn't decrease taxes on the wealthy and increase taxes on working Americans

What interest rate do we pay on our debt?
Percentage wise? Then I want to be rich.I've never seen a flat tax proposal that doesn't decrease taxes on the wealthy and increase taxes on working Americans

Wrong. Politicians ran up the debt. You couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from the inside.The interest on the national debt is almost a trillion dollars per year.
