    I know there are some nuances I'm not understanding, but I too agree with a flat tax system.
    Why can't we all pay (some arbitrary number) like personal taxes of 30% and business pay 35%?
    Can someone explain to me why such a simple system wont work?
    Of course the more you make, the more you pay. 30% of 500k/year is a lot more than 30% of 35k/yr. and its just straight fair across the board me thinks.

    • also reorg the estate taxes and capitol gains system too.threadpost
    • CAUSE ITS HARD TO LIVE ON 35K. AND NOT 500K.akrokdesign
    • HOW ABOUT THE 500K ONE LOWER HIS SALARY AND PAY THE WORKERS BETTER.akrokdesign
    • 4/5 of Americans fall into the middle class, thus paying a heavier tax load to support the wealthy elite and ignorant poor. Is this fair?utopian
    • yeah, middle class pay most TAX>.akrokdesign
    • none of that has anything to do with the idea of everyone paying a flat tax of say 30%.threadpost
