new progressive income tax

[SuperDemocrat]

Why not start out with a flat rate for everyone like 10% and as you make more money that rate declines to 9' 8, 6, etc etc etc. what better way to encourage businesses to grow and still collect monumental amounts of tax revenue to grow the size of government.

 

[The2ndAmendment]

Why not abolish the 16th Amendment entirely?

It's the worst cancer infecting our system. It needs to be cut out.

Because, little one, that isn't a "progressive" tax rate, it would be called a "regressive" tax rate, and it wouldn't be a flat rate either, since you're changing the rate by level of income.

There is to much money coming in from the income tax which means the politicians will never get rid of it. I just thought this tax is more American because it rewards hard work and economic achievement. I just thought I put this out there for discussion.

I'm not your penis so don't talk to me call me "little one".

So the richer you are......the less you pay?

I wasn't aware that degree of servilely attentive wealth worship had gone mainstream within the GOP.

Wouldn't the higher pay be an incentive already?

And you do realize that this would overwhelmingly benefit high wage earners that are already employed, right? Yeah, of course you do. That's the point.

Since an increasing progressive income tax is designed to kill the capatalism system then A progressive income tax that declines would have the opposite effect.

Designed to kill the capitalist system....according to who? Let me guess. You citing you?

And a conservative advocating a system of taxation that heavily burdens the poor and middle class while overwhelmingly benefiting the rich?

Color me shocked.

Obviously you did not read the communist manifesto as you were instructed to by Obama. I'm sure someone can show that it was Karl,Marx who came up with this idea and I'm pretty sure he was against the free enterprise system so I am assuming this can only have one benefit which is to take it down.

You've obviously never read the Communist Manifesto. You've merely read talking points. The 10 tenets weren't a means. They were an end.

And following your logic, public education and an end to child labor were designed to destroy capitalism. As both of those were also part of the 10 tenets.

So......no public education for children and a return of child labor to save capitalism? Or do you just not have the slightest clue what you're talking about?

I think you are on to something, but it would work better if it was a 35% tax on everyone, and then after the first $50K, it would drop to 25%, and after the next $50k it would drop to 15%. After $1 million, no more tax at all. This way all the low income earners would get raped over the coals and the rich could hire more people for below minimum wage. Oh yea, get rid of that minimum wage too. We need slave labor so the wealthy can create even more jobs.

Riddle me this...............

What nations have a GDP higher than the current Federal Budget of the United States............................................

and how to we pay for this.....................genius.

 

[eagle1462010]

A cancer is spending out of control.................and doing more of the same to resolve it................To ignore that it is destroying our dollar and our way of life.............

and refusing to see our Federal Gov't spends more than the GDP of ANY OTHER NATION on the PLANET EARTH.............

Why stop there? We can also use the tax sytem to force us to buy health insurance so that the health insurance industry has a pool of federally guaranteed customers. We can even put people in jail for not having it just so we can make sure they have customers. What domyounthink of that?
