It is too complex. It's been gamed by the rich and the corporations so they can get off paying less and make us peons pay more. Not fair or democratic at all. Billionairism is a disease.

A flat tax is nothing for the rich to pay but disastrous for the poor. I'm for a progressive tax like there was during the Eisenhower era. It discouraged money hoarding. The investment transaction tax is also a good idea. Stop sucking up to the money hoarders, Willy. You keep saying the rent is too damn high. Go figure. On 02/26/2014 08:47 AM, Richard J.

But, a "flat" taxes offer simplicity in the tax code, which has been reported to increase compliance and decrease administration costs. A true flat rate tax is a system of taxation where one tax rate is applied to all income with no exceptions. Go figure. According to what I've read, the flat rate would be applied to all taxable income and profits without exception or exemption. It could be argued that under such an arrangement, no one is subject to a preferential or "unfair" tax treatment. No industry receives special treatment, large households are not advantaged at the expense of small ones, etc. Moreover, the cost of tax filing for citizens and the cost of tax administration for the government would be further reduced, as under a true flat tax only businesses and the self-employed would need to interact with the tax authorities. That's what I think.

Yes, I see what you mean, asanas and sipping hot water are no substitute for decent exercise. It's just as well the TMO can cause positive social change with their minds Good choice of picture again, I wonder just how camp it's possible to make a macho dude? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote: I'm sure you look positively Errol Flynn-esque in green tights, Salyavin.
