I don't know why you keep acting as if the Fair Tax is my hobby horse. It isn't.
I want a single tax system better than this abomination.
IF that's the Fair Tax, then so be it. If not, then let's build a better mouse trap.
"Tax Freedom Day is the first day of the year in which a nation as a whole has theoretically earned enough income to fund its annual tax burden."
Poor you.
Average
Which you compared with total.
Doh!
Tax Freedom Day totals up tax collections and divides by national income. The result is the average tax burden for the U.S. economy as a whole
Think bell curve.
Some have a TF day significantly before and some have one significantly after the day in question
So you're back to April being in the last six months of the year.
That may have been the start of the loss, but since that time we have collectively abdicated our responsibilities to these alleged servants of the people whom we elected. The clowns in Washington Dem or Repub. will never give up their hold on power, ever. I am all for something other than the present system, and I am willing to remind (not that telling any dipsh!t politician from NJ will effect a change) that they are a servant and representative of the people, not a ruling class that they have become.
That's fine by me. I want to see elimination of corporate taxes, elimination of death taxes, additional reductions in the marginal income tax rates until we find that we are the Laffer optimal point.
In addition I want to see Social Security privatized, and I am willing to pay extra money to pay for those who were promised this benefit, and never receive a penny of it myself. I also want to see Medicare reformed from top-to-bottom. I also want to see Tort Reform to reduce the exorbitant costs of insurance on our medical costs.
These are what we need to do, incremental improvements in what we already have.
And I want to scrap the whole thing are start over again from scratch.
The current system is socialist, behaviorist nonsense.
I don't want it based on income or ownership. Once paid, the debt is paid forever.
Good luck with that. The government needs to be cut in half at least before we can scrap it and find another way. We require strict enforcement because the rates are so high.
Suck it up and start over.
According to this
http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2206.html
National income taxes are graduated from 10-37%. Prefectural income taxes are low, from 2-3%, and municipal income taxes, from 3-10%. That could leave a Japanese in the top bracket paying 50% in income taxes alone.
Fair tax supporter in Michigan!
I would love to be pinged on this!
The flat tax is what we currently have. One flat tax with 10,976 ammendmends and conditions; with deductions. We got thiss problem by making a flat tax, in 86, then not eliminating the IRS. Then congress took back the power.
We have a flat tax rate now. If you don't like that wait, congress will change it so it wont be the same next year!
He he he you'd like to omit a comparison to today's income tax system! It's the same. The poverty level earnings today buy tax inclusive goods. The poverty level spending under the nrst buy tax inclusive goods.
Your attempts to make the nrst look different in that respect are misleading. Both systems are the same in that respect.
You're having a bad thread.
Maybe from the money you just took from it?
sheesh
"Obscene Rob" getting posts pulled. That's a laugh.
He he he you'd like to omit a comparison to today's income tax system!Maybe because we aren't comparing the two. Do ya think?
The poverty level earnings today buy tax inclusive goods. The poverty level spending under the nrst buy tax inclusive goods.No it doesn't. That's the point. If you would quit trying to confuse the issue you would see that.
Your attempts to make the nrst look different in that respect are misleading.MY attempts. That's just grand...
Both systems are the same in that respect.jeez.... no, they aren't.
You're having a bad thread.Yeah, right.
And I will still have at the end $100 in my combined accounts. The problem is that the FairTax math assumes that in your example you will have $200. And they use that to calculate the FairTax rate. But you aren't really interested in learning why this is a problem for whatever reason of your own.
sheesh back at you.
Maybe the post wasn't obscene. Maybe you've got your facts wrong about the whole situation. Maybe pigdog is the guy that got suspended for a day, and then 3 days, and then got warned to Knock it off or leave FR by Jim Robinson. Not me. Maybe that's because the mods know what the heck happened and you don't.
Maybe you've got all your facts wrong on that whole event...
