Why we need a flat tax.

[ph4nt]

taxes are good, we all hate them but they are 100% necesary.

That being said, if the government didn't waste all their money on stupid programs, taxes could be reduced by half and we would still have more than enough cash.

Our government has a certain way of thinking, if the budget gets really high, rather than focusing on cutting out the less important stuff they just raise taxes.

If you are in the middle class you feel it the worst, the middle class is supporting America, not the rich. We get taxed the most and receive the lest amount of benefits from government programs.

Now here is one thing that really pisses me off, welfare, my tax dollars are supposedly going to help poor people get back on their feet so they don't live on the street, so why are so many people on welfare FAT. If you are relying on government money to live, you should be barely getting enough to survive, I see people in the supermarket all the time weighing 300+ pounds buying beer and donuts with FOOD STAMPS, my tax dollars are going to people who dont need the money and are wasting it on excess food, disgusting. Where else are your tax dollars going to?

look at this.

and that's just the beginning of wasteful spending.

The government wastes so much money it's sickening, you think in a time where money is hard to come by we would be trying to conserve rather then spend.

Anyone else find it funny how to bring us out of a recession the government is firing billions of dollars at failing companies?

I would be much more comfortable if i knew my taxes were going to better use than the crap it's really used for.
