If someone who makes less than I do has to pay the same percentage, they pay less, more fitting to their abilities.

Good idea. I like it, but I think that Marx phrased it a little better. He said: "From each according to his abilities to each according to his needs."

Doesn't that work a little better for you?

MY GOD, doll. Why do you want to cling to a failed system?

Why do you want the IRS to maintain a presence in our lives?

Why do you believe that the government has a right to know how much you earn?

You must have responded to someone else's post, Badray. I never posted anything like that. You'll never find anyone more anti-Communistic than I am.

Oh, I see what happened. In my post I quoted a paragraph from the article in replying to 92. You thought those were my words. It can happen to anyone.
