You've already stated that you want to tax everyone via regressive taxation by instituting a flat tax, so you've lost credibility. I still remember the hearty laugh I had when Bush expressed the same thing last August, only he wanted to do away with income tax altogether and enforce a flat federal sales tax. What a ****ing dolt.

I had a blast. None of my pictures came out, though, so I'm quite peeved. I was about to unload them to put on my livejournal and they're all sucky and blurry.

By the same token, you lose credibility when you suggest that the rich do not pay more taxes when they do under any percentage scheme I have ever heard of. I mean and with respect, you seem to think that all rich people should pay over 50% of their income, all estates should be taxed at 95%, etc. That is just punitive No one should ever have to pay more than 20% of their income to anyone.

Meh, I'm not getting into it with you tonight, babe. I've no desire to hear how ****ing fabulous the rich are because of their private donations.

I am not talking about donations. I am talking about more than half of what you earn going to pad some BS politician's pocket or that of their cronies. In the end, a flat tax is the only way to assure that that event happens as least often as possible, which is what I think should be onbe of the mail goals rather than punishing the "rich" with a 50% plus tax.

It's only a matter of time.

I agree a flat tax would be great...

That always sucks! One good thing about liking small independent artists is that they usually play small places where you can get GREAT photos! Thursday I am going to see Sara Groves in Wilmington and I actually get to meet her before hand...WOOHOO!

Well, now that you brought it up

Seriously, your views on taxation are not based in reality and unfairly punish the so called rich.

Have fun.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Exactly why is it anyones fault for being rich? Why should they have to hand over half of what they make to state and local government?

I'm not about to lose any sleep over it.

No, there actually is logic behind it. I'm not the only one to have this realization about a flat tax!

Have fun.

THANKS...I hope I do!

Are you opposed to the flat tax of 15% with no deductions for those making over $50,000 and no tax for those making less, which many speculate would fill the tax coffers? Or, is it necessary to punish the rich with more taxation just because they are rich?

And I am supposed to lose sleep over my belief in a flat tax?
