Well the AMT comes quickly to mind.
But the real problem is excessive government spending - not the method of taxation.
Very true.
I am amazed when I hear people make claims that say by changing the *method* they will decrease the total burden.
Also agree. But a major change in the tax system will hurt some and help others. It can't be a win for everyone as sale tax proponents preach.
If it caused everyone to realize how much the government was stealing from us and to demand reform and to throw a bunch of the bums responsible out, how would that not be considered a win for everyone?
