You call that fair?
No that's not really that simplictic fairness that you so strive for.
Childish fairness isn't that every dollar is taxed equally, childish fairness is that every person pays exactly the same amount of taxes regardless of income.
In 2007 every persons FAIR SHARE of the taxes would have been about $9,100.
A family of four would have owed $36,400.
Now THERE'S your childish FAIRNESS in action.
That solution, much like your flat tax is completely undo-able, but it does satisfy that childish concept of fairness that some of you are clinging to.
So then I guess flat rate sales tax is not 'fair'... I guess stores selling at a set price, and not a price based on your income, is not 'fair'...
No.... it is why it is a tax rate and not a tax lump sum..
Flat taxes are not undo-able... they are just not wanted by those who want a punishment of success.. .they are just not wanted by people who want something more at the expense of others.. they are just not wanted by those who only deem it fair when it benefits them...
Yet another lib that only wants subjective equality
