When an Indie party has as one of its main issues the overhauling of our tax sytem, I start thinking “S-T-E-V-E F-O-R-B-E-S!” Forbes is no conservative. He’s just a greedy Wall St. bastard. It also make me think “L-I-B-E-R-T-A-R-I-A-N!”, NOT conservative.

Leave the tax system alone. It’s been working and to some degree, it protects small business (with deductions of all kinds). I’m a very small businessman. I want those “protections” PROTECTED! No “fair tax” for me!

Good for you!

The rest of us want our confiscatory tax rates dropped from the current total of 40+ (Fed, State, County, City) dropped to something more fair.

Maybe we can make it voluntary so that you can go ahead and happily pay your higher level of taxes while the rest of us fight for a lower tax rate.

Does that work for you?

Great. You apparently have a favorite tax loop-hole you exploit.

Screw the rest of us, as long as you get one by "the man".

We'd have more money to buy your product/services were our tax system not set up to punish success.

Think about it...

ROFLOL. You’re exactly what’s wrong with the tax system.

“Don’t take my Ethanol subsidies!” cry the corn farmers.

“Don’t take my price supports!” cry the milk producers.

“Don’t take my Food Stamps!” cry the welfare mothers and agribusiness.

“Don’t take my Grants!” cry the useless college professors.

“Don’t take my bridge” cries whoever in the hell wanted that bridge built in Alaska.

And “Don’t take my breaks” cries levotb.

There welfare queens even here on Free Republic.

Who knew?
