"You know, I still think this is too complicated. I’m for a fair tax or flat tax. You know, take 15% or 18% and be done with it. I know that’s never gonna happen. I know the tax code writers are never gonna give up their power. We’d have to elect a whole brand-new Congress."

Ding, ding, ding, winner winner chicken dinner. The "O" percent payers have no skin in the game, yes I said it. 15% flat and 15% business, cap gains, divi's, you couldn't get much simpler, one rate you can rap your head around...

All I know is that in 1988, after I graduated, there were so many jobs in Manhattan that you could choose where you really wanted to work.

Things were rocking.

QUESTION: As for the tax brackets, my question is this;

for a married couple the tax is 0% on up to 50K combined, now my question, let's say a couple has a combined income of 55K, do they pay 5% on the entire 55K or just on the 5K over the 50K, in other words is the tax on everything below or just on what goes into that bracket?

Let's go a bit further for clarification, let us say, I earn 110K in a year, my wife earns 5K giving us a total income for the year of 115K, what would our tax be, assuming no deductions.

I heard Levin (and Rush) that it is a good plan but do not like the idea of 50% of the people not paying taxes. Agreed, but better than any RAT proposal.

I am a FAIR tax guy myself.
