Yea! That’s what I prefer, the flat tax.

Russia has apparently done pretty well with a flat tax, from what I’ve read.

With about 50% of wage earners paying no tax, and some even getting a refund beyond what goes in, this idea is DOA, never going to happen.

The best we can hope for is a complete change to the fair tax or something very similar and an abolishment of the income tax by C amendment.

With all the money on K street in DC, any change that affects the livelyhood of those parasites may take an a bomb to actually change.

Speaking of Potomac City, recently went through that area and one would not know there is a serious recession in the country and very little construction in the outlying 57 er 50 states. That group is so insulated against any change to make them desire NONE. Very similar to Moscow under the commies when ordinary Russians could not even visit without special papers...sad. We have the best government that money can buy, even as we borrow the payment.
