The only thing you have said that makes sense is that we need a national sales tax and do away with the system we now have. I have said so for years.
But realistically, if that were to be the law, you would be one of the first to claim you should not have to pay as much as that rich guy and thus would start all of the gimmicks we have today in our tax system Farmers would get this, manufacturing would get that, people making more or less that whatever would get their tax breaks.
A national sales tax should be the same for everyone, whether you are buying a million dollar Derby horse or a bicycle.
However the present system exists because too many people think “the government needs to do something”.
The government is who/what has screwed up the financial system and the federal reserve is probably at the root of it.
As for my (what you believe to be weird) theories, I remind you that regardless of short term escape from reality, money follows laws that are as powerful and as irresistible as gravity, and as a result money always chases the best return.
The CEO’s you rant over are there because they give the stockholders and their customers the best value.And as for their personal taxes, why wouldn’t any sane person attempt to invest his money in a way that he gets the most return and at the same time the most protection from the thieves in DC? He earned it, paid income tax on it and is within his legal rights to keep all that he can from thieves.
No, once again, you're completely wrong, and falsely projecting insults at me once again as well. All I ever said is we need a flat tax, so that everyone is taxed at an equal level, based on their spending, so rich people can't use all their tricks to get away with paying less than everyone else as a percentage, which is a well known fact.
That apparently upset you so much you felt you had to come in here attacking me by falsely claiming that I didn't understand basic corporate taxes, which was not only wrong, but a complete red herring to the discussion at hand.
You're still trying to take the discussion out into left field, regarding the Federal Reserve and who knows what next, but I'll just consider the matter closed, since you finally, begrudgingly, admitted (or now claim that) you actually agree with me that a national sales tax would be better than what we have now, and supposedly have even felt that way for years. Ok whatever.
