A flat tax may put skin in the game, but it puts a heavy burden on the poor whom can't afford to pay income taxes. Y'all need to show a modicum of compassion.
Why should everyone NOT contribute toward running this great country?

That's not what I asked. Even with their write-offs, they are still paying 87% of all collected income taxes, while at the same time, nearly half of this country doesn't pay a dime.
It is why I have been for a flat tax rate with NO expenditures for anyone. It is exactly the question you are asking.
Wait a minute. I asked a simple question. You talk about write offs, fine, but that would mean without write-offs, they would be paying even much more of our tax burden. So once again, the question: how much more should they be paying for the rest of us?
Keyrist you are slow. They pay more of the tax burden because they make most of the fucking money. If all things are equal everyone pays the same percentage. Or close to. Why is this difficult for you to understand?
You pay a 35% effective rate? You must be part of the 1% for sure.
Where did I say that? When was the last time the Uber wealthy paid anywhere near an effective rate of 35%?

Did Obama care about how much the poor pay when he instituted his huge sin tax? Did Obama care if the poor could afford his green energy initiative?
In the county I live in, we have an 8 cents per dollar sales tax which is used for various reasons. The rich pay it, the poor pay it, and everybody in between pays it. I don't like it, but at least it's fair for everybody.

The amount of tax that would be collected from the poor, at let's say 12%, on income, would be COMPLETELY insignificant to the total collected by the government, but VERY significant to the poor. I'm not for taxing the poor's income beyond sales taxes, SSI, and Medicare (which they do pay).

I'm talking about income tax. That is where the flat tax will be assessed. Unless you're proposing a 12% national sales tax.

I'm fine with a national sales tax. The point I am making is that the poor here are doing just fine with our sales tax. Nobody is starving.

Obama's policies and ANY green initiative policies place a HUGE burden on the poor. It's almost like the lib's don't give a fuck about the poor.

They don't. It's a dog and pony show. The problem with our voting system is people with no money are allowed to vote for representatives that will take other people's money and give it to them in some form of social programs. If everybody had to pay for all these social goodies, then they would be less likely to support a Democrat representative, because more social spending might mean an increase in their income taxes as well.
As I said before, if you rob Peter to pay Paul, the Paul's of your society generally have no objections.
So, why "funny" for the OP Gator?
The idea that the "experiment called America" would be over by higher tax rate on the upper level.
Seems they were higher once and it did not end America...

I don't disagree. There is a tipping point. We are getting ever closer to it every year.
From the sale of goods and services.
Which is bought by the consumer. So...they pay income taxes plus they pay the taxes being paid by the corporation. How does that help anyone?
Are you advocating that corporations pay no taxes?
Other than deceiving some of the public who do not understand that the corporations simply increase the cost of their product, what is the upside of high income taxes for a corporation?
A nominal income tax, say no more than 5 or 10% would provide an income stream and not be destructive.

Why don't you go look at the chart I posted. You have a big surprise coming.
Ta Da!

dishonesty. No one paid those tax rates because of the loopholes at the time.

Uhm, that is EXACTLY what I have stated. Flat tax for Everyone with no expenditures either. Do you and Ray go to the same school.?

So with no deductions, where would people work? Where would they live? Because getting rid of deductions would have an impact on those things.
