The answer is the flat tax.

I used to be in favor of that but the problem is that a flat tax is, in
fact, a regressive tax. Yeah, I know everyone pays the same percentage
but
$200.00 a year to someone making $10,000.00 a year is still a lot while
$2000.00 a year to someone making a hundred grand really isn't that much.

The flat tax (which I'm against) doesn't even kick in until you make like
$30K.


A national sales tax is a much more-better idea. You buys lots of stuff?
You pays The Man. This would also encourage folks to save instead of
spending more than they make. . . . Aw hell, I wasn't gonna even reply to
this silly thread but couldn't help it. I'm going to bed before I get
wound
up.

Good idea. :~)

BTW, I heard on the radio that something like one-fourth of households now
pay NO taxes whatsoever (aside from local)...so who are the parasites?
