1) Corporations do pay taxes. I have worked for, and owned, corporations that paid taxes.
2) I think that the business of the federal government should be scaled back to the point that tariffs pay for everything. But yes, a flat tax would eliminate the vast majority of both tax fraud and tax special interests. I don't believe in tax credits for anyone. The caveat being that taxes on people were as described in # 2. For example: Some genious in congress determined that once you make $50,000/yr, you can no longer write off continuing education tuition. At $49,999 you can. And have you seen the calculation sheet for writing off college loan interest? It's both demeaning and manipulative. And you can only do it for the first five years. -----Original Message----- From: Dana Tierney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2003 7:16 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Bush decided to "take out Saddam" in March Lon Lentz writes: > 1) Corporations do pay taxes.

Anyway, i am sorry if the idea upsets you. And tuition tax credits do not? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
