DennisR: Limit the Federal government to 10% of our gross cumulative incomes.

Other than DennisR's comment, the entire thread is arguing over HOW to collect a tax.

Nobody is talking about HOW MUCH is acceptable.

Seems like, until we can all agree on what an "ALTERNATIVE MAXIMUM TAX" is, that all these plans are just book-selling vehicles.

Is it 10% of gross domestic incomes? Is it $40,000 per person? $50,000?

If you can't put a max on per person contributions, then we can't put a limit on government spending, or tax chicanery.

You have a good point, but I don’t think there should be a max tax per person. That’s crazy.

Instead we should (like this article did discuss) have a max tax based on GDP. What should our revenues be based on our GDP?

I agree!

Most people in this country today have absolutely NO idea as to how much tax the REALLY pay and we are going to have GREAT difficulty getting spending under control until they do! The fairtax would make that abundantly clear to them and THEN we can get some REAL spending restraint on the federal government
