John, my whole point is contingent upon the 15% being the ONLY tax we pay. If this discussion is in favor of a 15% income tax while letting all the other taxes remain in place, then it's completely pointless.
You finally got it! We are played for suckers all the time and they usually get away with it.
If it's too good to be true than it is.
The discussion should be how big a government do we want, not, how do I get somebody else to pay for it.
