Mike:
Your plan would be a total disincentive to creating jobs, wealth and prosperity. The last thing we need at this time of economic hardship is to rob the economy of vitally needed capital and sink it into the black hole of government. Read your history books.... The government raised taxes during the Depression (to balance budgets and make up for revenues shortfalls) which sucked capital out of the economy and made the Depression much worse. We used to have 90%+ tax rates during the 50's which lead to economic stagnation. It was only after tax rates were reduced was there sufficient capital available to allow for the huge job and growth expansions that we enjoyed for the past 50 years. Even the Democrats know better than to raise taxes... __________________________________________________________ Howard S. White Ph.D. P.

When is there enough wealth to stop getting more? If someone gets $100,000,000,000, he can afford to pay 99% tax and learn to live on $1,000,000,000. But our tax laws give that person $650,000,000,000. I don't believe that is fair. So I propose eliminating the current 35% flat tax that we currently have. Mike's non-flat tax plan wealth = tax + spending $100B 99% $1B $10B 95% $500M $1B 90% $100M $100M 80% $20M $10M 70% $3M $1M 50% $500K $100K 10% $90K $20K 0% $20K Some people say that, if poor people did not pay taxes, they would not have any incentive to try to gain wealth and live on welfare. This is crazy because wealth is the incentive and tax on poor people is just insulting. But no one has $100,000,000,000. I think Exxon-Mobil is trying to, real hard. If they had to pay 99% tax, they would not try so hard and we would all benefit from that. Michael E. Lebo San Diego [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
