Linder’s proposed 23 percent rate, would actually have to be about 50 percent.

BULLSHIT!!! If EVERYONE had to "contribute" a small percentage, the rate would be around 5%. Right now we have a tax system where 20% of the population pays almost ALL of the tax and 80% pay very little if any.

I'm not falling for this propoganda crap!!

I like their version of tax rates - it will make the American public even MADDER!

The article is MORE HONEST than most of these low-ball figures being spouted when you tack on ALL of the taxed areas and not simply income tax. Taxes do not always take the form of $$ but in cost additions from unfunded illegal "MANDATES" from the govt.

60% (+ -) has always been the figure I've known of and heard used for at least 20 years of actual total tax and it has never been disputed.

Eggsactly Batman, also note that if you have a sales tax then Foreign Visitors and Illegal Aliens have to pay it as well! So everybody gets to pay!
