Flat Tax - would you vote for it? - GoFuckYourself.com

goBigtime · 10-08-2003, 10:36 AM

Here is a quote from Congressman Radanovitches website (found it on a google search):

Quote:

There are approximately 700 separate sections of the Tax Code that apply to individuals. There are over 1,500 separate provisions that apply to businesses. As of May 2000, before passage of the last two tax bills, the Tax Code contained 1,395,028 words ? nearly 319 times the number of words in the Constitution. IRS Regulations contain over 8,551,444 words ? over 11 times the number of words in the King James Bible. The IRS produces 649 separate forms, schedules, and instructions with approximately 16,100 lines. Publications providing guidance to taxpayers alone total about 13,400 pages.

Instead of worrying about more or less taxes, we should be worried about using existing tax dollars appropriately.

Err just to be clear... with flat taxes, you would still have exemtions and deductions available to you as normal. But when it comes time to figure out your taxes - everyone pays the same rate.

Forbes was trying to push it awhile back when he ran for president.

It would suck not to have loop holes

Why not just a US wide sales tax. Taxes everything even dirty money. If your super rich but rarely buy stuff you just dont pay much taxes, or if you buy all sorts of toys you pay for it. Seems simple enough.

No deductions, no tax codes, ect.

What's Tax ??

smack · 10-08-2003, 10:55 AM

sounds like a good idea. as long as they don't set the percentage somewhere ridiculously high like 40%+

freeadultcontent · 10-08-2003, 10:57 AM

nah I am sure they could get away with like 1% on everything we buy.

Um... we would be in a depression in like 3 months if instead of having income taxes we taxed goods at 1%

i would rather tax breaks to entice rich people to invest locally to help create jobs.
