I'm sure you look positively Errol Flynn-esque in green tights, Salyavin. But the thought of Nabby or any other TM Purusha type wearing green tights makes me want to wash my brain. :-) From: salyavin808 no_re...@yahoogroups.com To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2014 12:33 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] RE: A National Robin Hood Tax To Take Back Our Economy Can I wear green tights?

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, turquoiseb@... wrote: I'm sure you look positively Errol Flynn-esque in green tights, Salyavin.

There is actually a much simpler solution, although it will never happen -- The investor class, those who, own most of the wealth in the USA, do not work, and are taxed at the lowest rate possible, despite earning the largest incomes, only pay 15% on their capital gains (income). If the rate were raised to just 20% on their profits, we would no longer have deficit spending, and the 1% of the 1% would never feel it. Unfortunately this country is founded on the principle that the richer you are, the less accountable, and responsible, to society, you need to be. Too bad - an easy fix. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote: http://www.nationofchange.org/robin-hood-tax-take-back-our-economy-1393344562 http://www.nationofchange.org/robin-hood-tax-take-back-our-economy-1393344562

In general, I'm opposed to taxation on income and property, but I'd consider supporting a consumption tax. 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.

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.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: A National Robin Hood Tax To Take Back Our Economy
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.
