The FairTax, Join in!

[Final-Fan]

I have to completely object to your skewed version of "fairness." A person's income, earnings, and property doesnt matter when it comes to paying for his/her fair share. Taxes are levied for the express purpose of each paying their share for the cost of running a government. ([side note]Atleast thats how it should be, under the last 100 years of liberal tyranny, taxes have been used in gross ways such as buying votes, punishing unwanted activities, rewarding special interest groups, rewarding cronnies, etc[/side note]) So here's an example of how taxes would be levied in a fair system. Lets say that the population is 2 people and the cost for government is $5000 per year. Thats means Person A pays his share of $2500 and person B pays his share of $2500. That is fair. Wheter person A works harder and earns more money doent matter. It is unfair to say that person A would have to pay $4500 because he makes more money, that is not his problem nor is it his concern, and it is definately NOT the government's business. That is why fair taxation is good. The governemnt gets their greddy noses out of our paychecks, wallets, and bank accounts and we citizens pay our fair share buy simply buying goods.

AHAHAHAHAHA.

So your idea of a "flat tax" would be "every U.S. citizen owes Uncle Sam $10,000 per year". Doesn't matter if you work like a dog ten hours a day and only make minimum wage. Doesn't matter if you're a trust fund baby. Doesn't matter if you're a LITERAL baby ... you can just owe the gov't until working age. Of course a lot of people don't make $10,000 more per year than food and shelter costs, and since starving/homeless citizens aren't working citizens I guess we'll have to raise the taxes on the people who are able to pay ... oh wait. 

That's the worst idea I've heard from anyone so far on the subject of taxation ... and that includes the people who think it's a good idea for the government to deliberately destroy itself with deficit spending. At least they REALIZE what they're proposing.

Thanks for the comic relief.
