Boy are you stupid. If there was no income tax and only a national sales tax, everyone would pay the same percentage. You think rich should pay 90%, as it was back in the days during WWII and after wards for many years? Why should anyone pay a bigger percentage than anyone else? The reason the rich try to use all the tax loop holes, and get the legislature to pass such laws, is because they are getting ripped.
The fair tax or some other national sales tax is the only fair way to tax people. Taxing income is unconstitutional, I don't care if they pass an amendment "making it legal" or not. The founders knew the dangers of an income tax and so made it unconstitutional. The stupidity of the American public allowed that protection to be taken away.
You are the stupid one in this exchange. Of course I don’t think the rich should pay 90%, I said that in a joking aside. You also lack basic reading comprehension skills. Replies likes yours makes me realize how easy it was for the Red Scare of the 50s to take hold.
You are arguing against policies I don’t hold. See my post #46.
If you had bothered to read my clarification posts you’d know I am in favor of the flat tax.
