I still say: one dollar, one vote. Vote as many times as you like, just kick in a dollar each time. And that's all the money the gov't gets.
On the other hand, are you familiar with the "fair tax" that Neal Boortz is pushing? It's basically a national sales tax, and everybody gets a rebate check from the gov't every month or something, which is supposed to give you back the taxes you paid on basic necessities or something.

Because it's almost hidden... you never had that money in your hand, so you don't think about it as much.Well, for some reason they just don't want to talk about payroll taxes... ever.
Tell everyone who works that they actually have to pony up their cash-in-hand once a year... then people get serious about reducing taxes, and the bloated government that spends them.

It's not illegal to advertise the sales tax, it is illegal to advertise a price and state that tax is included.
Although, this may vary by state, since sales tax is a state issue.
Also, it is illegal for a company to pay your sales tax for you, at least in NC. So they can't advertise "sales tax free weekend" or such, they just have to give you the 7% (7.5%?) off.

It's not me, it's someone else.

All Right!!! Right up my alley. In 1985 a friend of mine cheded me and asked what I would do after Reagans, simpification and tax cut bills went through. I hate to tell you how much my income has increased since his "simplification" All Hail Ceasar.
Seriously. Taxes are a very complicated subject without simply answers. Most of these issues are good. I really really think the Alternative Minimum Tax should be repealed. They giveth and they taketh away. Wrote a paper on this for a former employer who was testifying before Congress on the subject. Take my word for it, testimony really does not matter.
My future is assured, as Catt said, because I have a niche, somewhere and will just charge more to support my children in the manner...............well never mind.
Good luck tax reform. I like a challenge.

New rule that everyone works for the collective, and the government will give you everything you need?Yeah, well, I can't conceive of a reality in which any significant amount of tax reform occurred that put you, my uncle and my wife out of business.
We're already part way there.
