A flat tax would work. especially if we started it at a reasonable amount..say 10 grand. No write offs..at a flat rate of 6%. Make 40 grand pay 2400...100 grand pay 6000. No corporate write offs at a rate of 4% of profit before paying dividends. No tax on Social Security payments. Say it won't work...BULL. May not be popular because it would put a bunch of people out of work...especially lobbyists and tax lawyers but it would be good for the average taxpayer. And for the ones who say it ain't fair...who said life is fair. Live with a simple tax code instead of what we have...Even lawyers don't understand it all. How can the average person file his own taxes and have things turn out right(fair??). Not dissing ya Fabs but you know it is true..the lawyers(lobbyists) have made it necessary to have a tax preparer. Just shouldn't be that way. At least it would be the same for everyone!!
