I agree with all except, the flat tax being fair, it's not not fair..I guess we must agree to disagree.Max Power said:I don't see changing the method of tax collection as the answer.
Obviously the tax code is too complicated. To make it much simpler would make it much more fair. Perhaps even getting rid of the progressive income tax, and leaving a flat income tax would be fair.
Right now, the biggest problem (IMO) is that the poor pay, umm, NOTHING, in income tax. IIRC, the bottom 48% recieve more in refund than they pay in. That's only 3% away from a majority... pretty scary in a democracy.
Oh, and I'd cut government spending by about 90%. . Okay, maybe not that much, but a lot.
