Indeed, the only fair tax is the FLAT TAX. And if we don't get EVERYONE Paying we will be taxed to death. If everyone in the country were to be taxed, say at the godly rate of 10%, when there was an attepmt to raise taxes, the whole country would go bonkers, not just those who are producing as is the case now. The problem now is that so few of us are paying so much of the tax burden, those who don't pay taxes can simply vote themselves a pay raise (benefits raise) by voting into office the liberal Democrats who will prostitute themselves in any way they can to stay in power...

FLAT TAX, let's get behind it!

"Indeed, the only fair tax is the FLAT TAX."

Which version of the flat tax do you support - the one championed by Rep. Burgess, who picked up Rep. Armey's bill?

-- That's exactly what the FairTax does. Everybody pays a 23% tax on sales. If it goes up to 24%, everybody above the poverty line pays more.

Do you not understand that the Fair Tax accomplishes all of this AND eliminates the IRS? The flat tax exempts families of four from paying any taxes up to about $40,000. Why shouldn't they pay any tax? Are they not getting any benefits from national defense, interstate highways, etc? What's fair about that?

What method of collection do you propose with the Flat Tax? How are you going to get drug dealers to pay their "fair share?" I rebuke the Flat Tax on the basis that it still only taxes "legitimate" wage earners. Illegal aliens get "free" healthcare, don't contribute a dime and still continue to procreate at an astounding rate. Get them legal or get them out; get them working, contributing and OFF my healthcare plan. How about the "poor & homeless" who can't afford housing, refuse jobs offered to them, yet come into the emergency rooms weekly to sleep off their drunkeness or drug use, taking up a bed that your grandmother may need? The Flat Tax is NOT the answer.
