Note how every time we discuss taxes people talk about closing loopholes?
Note also that every time I ask these folks "WHAT LOOPHOLE would you close?" nobody responds?
These morons think that changing the tax RATES = closing loopholes.
It doesn't.
Not remotely.
Rates have nothing to do with loopholes.
And no, if the rates change the US tax code is not going to be simplified.
It cannot be simplified because the US tax codes addresses issues surrounding compex questions about what is a justified deduction for each industry.
And it is in those CODES where the dreaded loopholes exist.
Those koopholes that all this boards self proclaiming TAX EXPERTS can't seem to indentify.
My poinht here?
Our fellow posters don't know what the fuck they are talking about.
They aren't not only not experts, they don't have fucking clue what they're talking about.
The pages and pages of deductions, shifting rates, tax shelters, etc.... eliminate loopholes (every single one of them), eliminate the possibility of loopholes with a simplified system, equalize the tax rate on every dollar earned
Simple enough??
YOu wrote a lot of words but not a plan.
What loopholes specifically would you eliminate?
Name ONE --- Just one! -- that Cains plan or any of the FLAT TAXERS have told YOU about.
What loophole, in the OIL industry, for example, will Cains plan close?
I'll tell you because I know you don't know.
It won't close a single loophole.
Jesus Christ are you dense...
Any and all deductions, tax shelters, etc.... By absolutely and completely simplifying the code to have it that every dollar is taxed the same rate, every time, with zero deductions, exceptions, etc... No deductions for political contributions... no reduced rates for capital gains... no delays in taxation... no 'rebates' for 'going green'... NONE OF THAT SHIT
I am not and have not supported Cain's plan... but nice try... stay on topic and focused, edit
ELIMINATE THE CURRENT TAX CODE... THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW..... AND REPLACE WITH THE IRON CLAD SIMPLIFIED SYSTEM AS STATED...
