The fair tax is the only income tax I’d support. We should go back to the only tax that works,tarrifs on imports.
Q. Why is is called Fair Tax?
A. Because they want to con people to think it is fair.
How about this. The states handle all tax collection, and what might be left over goes to DC.
Oh hell, why we’re talkin pie-in-the-sky thoughts, every vote of a voter is tracked with their voter ID card. If you vote for a line item, you pay for it through some mechanism to deduct it from any funds/assets you have. Period. If you vote for amnesty, your assests/monies are subject to a regular deduction/withdrawal to pay your share of enabling these parasites to stay in this country.
I too am for a flat tax although I prefer the Fair Tax twist that refunds a fixed amount per person to reflect the cost of basic sustenance. Rich or poor, the same return to them. The welfare industry instantly eliminated. Reduce the IRS to collecting post cards. Nothing. Else. Everyone has pretty much the same stake in assuring effective usage of our pooled funding of federal (and state, local) resources.
I am damn cranky this year since my unique situation involving foreign plus USA income resulted in 60% of my income going to one country or another for one category or another. No one deserves this BS from our (USA) or any government. No one.
The Russian federal tax is about the same as California’s top STATE bracket (12.3%) ....

Flat taxes are great, until people realize that their employer healthcare ‘benefit’ counts as taxable income, along with their mortgage debt interest.
...then not so much support.
I was gonna say......it wouldn’t matter if 100% prefer a flat tax, the politicians don’t. A flat tax would take away their Power and control of us.
