Cute screenname, jimjones316. Who are you trying to mock and offend with that?

Sorry, but I don't think anyone around here will by your ridiculous argument for a regressive income tax, but the DUmmies that you probably hang out with might be stupid enough to actually believe that it was espoused by a conservative.

You Might be a Troll if ...

If that post is the best you can come up with ... you might be a troll.

If you like DU ... you might be a troll.

If you have had more than two screen names at Free Republic in one week ... you might be a troll.

If you can't remember the last time you bathed ... you might be a troll.

If you think that U.S. courts should consider the rulings and opinions of the courts of other countries rather than basing their rulings exclusively on the U.S. Constitution and the laws of the U.S. and of its several states ... you might be a troll.

If you think algore really won the Florida election, but the mean old US Supreme Court wouldn't allow the rules for counting ballots to be changed to your liking ... you must be a troll.

If you think the economy would be doing better if Congress hadn't passed those piddly little tax cuts ... you must be a troll.

If you think foreign policy under an algore administration or that of any of the current democrat wannabees would make us safer from attack from our enemies ... you must be a troll.

Hey troll, this viking kitty has a message for you:

Flat.

There are enough regressive forms of taxation, like the taxes on gasoline, tobacco, and alcohol.

[Conspiracy Guy]

NOPE. Flat tax with no loop holes is the way. That encourages people to live within their means or expand their means. I would propose, no tax on worker making $15k or less with that going to $30k for couple. Then no tax after first $10M per year. 10% across the board for everyone in between including all levels of government. If we can't run the government on 10% plus tarriffs etc. Cut it down or shut it down.

You forgot one:

The FairTax

A revenue-neutral replacement of income tax, corporate taxes, death taxes, and some others with a national retail sales tax.

Zot! Did you feel that?

[Tijeras_Slim]

I think a system that rewards those that work hard while enforcing that you will not get a free ride from the government if you are poor is the perfect system for this country, but it would never be implemented because of "it favors the rich" arguement

If it won't work, and will never be implemented why bother to discuss it? Furthermore, this is what we call a "vanity post" and not a particularly good one. You should refrain from these until you've been here a while.

Here is some more advice.

Black Ops

I’ve seen the helicopters,
Lurking in the night.
I know that they are watching,
Hey what gives them the right?
To snoop on me and snoop on you,
I’m sure they’re shooting film.
Recording every word we say,
The future’s looking dim.
I think next time I hear them,
And I hope that it’s soon.
I’m dropping trou and bending,
I’m giving them the moon.

Lock and load one round ZOT ammunition! Backblast area clear? You may fire when ready Kitties.

Dear JJ,
Sounds like there may be hope for you, but change the moniker. This is not an attempt to infringe your 1st Amnt. right to "free speach" but rather some friendly advice.
Your moniker will rub some folks around here the wrong way, and they'll never forget..
Not that they have good memories, but this site has good arcives.
Have fun

I support NO TAXES and high tariffs....just like the Constitution mandated.

[Spartano]

I am for FLAT-TAX all the way. And the rate must be 10% as described in the Bible. All these politicians and economists think they are smarter than the big fellow there in Heaven. I advocate for the total elimination of the sales taxes, they are very regressive.

It´s interesting to study the Laffer curve, here I include two sites:
